Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 15.0 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.43 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 24 · Club 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: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.93 per match at 16.9, economy 2.43, strike rate 41.8.
