Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
12 of 24 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.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.74.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (2nd grade 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.00 per match at 18.7, economy 3.74, strike rate 30.0.
