Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.3 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.46 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 6 matches (0.83 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (3rd grade 3 · 4th grade 3). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.83 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 6 matches — 1.83 per match at 26.3, economy 3.46, strike rate 45.5.
