Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.5 over 111 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
42 of 78 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 49 catches in 132 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 64 × 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 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 48 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 132 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,239 runs in 111 innings, adjusted average 14.5, strike rate 65.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 149 wickets in 121 matches bowled in (of 132 played) — 1.23 per match at 21.0, economy 4.41, strike rate 28.5.
