Critical recommendations

Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.2 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.68.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 12 innings at 5.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
18 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.06 per match at 19.6, economy 3.68, strike rate 31.9.
