Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.8 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.84 per match at 20.3, economy 3.90, strike rate 31.3.
