Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.2 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

9 of 17 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 Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 2.73 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.73.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 12 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.47 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 18 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
13 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.00 per match at 19.1, economy 2.73, strike rate 41.9.
