Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.5 over 5 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 6.56 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Club 11). 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: 2 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 5 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 37.5 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 1.40 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
