Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.0 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

17 of 27 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 12 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 39 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
82 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.46 per match at 16.9, economy 4.84, strike rate 20.9.
