Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
15 of 29 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.24.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 88 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 1.57 per match at 14.9, economy 3.24, strike rate 27.6.
