Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

5 of 8 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 Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.9.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 9 matches (0.89 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 83 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 9 matches — 1.11 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 8 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
14 wickets in 9 matches — 1.56 per match at 13.9, economy 3.15, strike rate 26.5.
