Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 93 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (3rd grade 11 · 4th grade 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 7 run outs (5 direct, 2 assisted) in 126 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 93 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 108 wickets in 113 matches bowled in (of 126 played) — 0.96 per match at 24.1, economy 4.34, strike rate 33.3.
