Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.5 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
6 of 6 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.48.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 8.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 2.38 per match at 17.9, economy 3.48, strike rate 30.8.
