Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.2 over 58 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
20 of 37 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 14% 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 17.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.77.
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 83 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 83 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 127 wickets in 80 matches bowled in (of 83 played) — 1.59 per match at 17.5, economy 2.77, strike rate 38.0.
