Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.3 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.52 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (State competition 1 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 12.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 101.2 overs across 18 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.83 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
