Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.4 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
19 of 24 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.82.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 45 matches — 1.60 per match at 17.6, economy 2.82, strike rate 37.6.
