Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.4 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

7 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.06 is excellent but a wicket every 66 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×1.00 for the level played (National competition 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 11 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
14 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.08 per match at 33.4, economy 3.06, strike rate 65.6.
