Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 5 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
76% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.62.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 1.75 per match at 16.9, economy 2.62, strike rate 38.6.
