Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
4 of 8 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.11.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 40 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 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
- ×0.38 for the level played (2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 15 · 4th grade 19 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.19 per match at 20.6, economy 3.11, strike rate 39.7.
