Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 94 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
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 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 128 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 94 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 90 wickets in 98 matches bowled in (of 128 played) — 0.92 per match at 18.9, economy 4.38, strike rate 25.8.
