Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.0 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
6 of 10 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.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 4 · Club 17). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.86 per match at 27.1, economy 4.26, strike rate 38.2.
