Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.5 over 52 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 6.23 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 60 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 71 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.27 per match at 19.9, economy 6.23, strike rate 19.2.
