Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.9 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

6 of 9 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.3.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 7 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 15 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
15 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.00 per match at 15.3, economy 4.25, strike rate 21.5.
