Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 59 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (Rep Div 1 17 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 1.29 per match at 14.8, economy 4.54, strike rate 19.6.
