Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.6 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% 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 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 19 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 10.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 32 matches — 0.47 per match at 28.3, economy 5.03, strike rate 33.8.
