Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
9 of 18 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
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.89 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 45 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 35 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 562 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 25.7, strike rate 80.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.00 per match at 28.8, economy 3.89, strike rate 44.5.
