Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 4.8 over 52 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 29% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 4.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 104 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 1.49 per match at 23.3, economy 3.87, strike rate 36.2.
