Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.9 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

8 of 14 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 3.49 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.76 for the level played (1st grade 17 · 2nd grade 9). 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: 7 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.38 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 21 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
41 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.64 per match at 25.0, economy 3.49, strike rate 42.9.
