Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.4 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
4 of 6 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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.39.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 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
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.27 per match at 22.1, economy 3.39, strike rate 39.1.
