Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
20 of 40 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 13% 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 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 3 · 4th grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 0.85 per match at 27.3, economy 4.29, strike rate 38.2.
