Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

10 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.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.5.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 38 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 21 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 29 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
86 wickets in 63 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 1.37 per match at 15.5, economy 3.40, strike rate 27.3.
