Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.3 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.47 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.17 dismissals per match across 23 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.39 for the level played (3rd grade 17 · Club 4 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.17 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 10 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
25 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.14 per match at 25.3, economy 3.47, strike rate 43.8.
