Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 37 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
13 of 26 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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.68.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 1.28 per match at 19.2, economy 3.68, strike rate 31.2.
