Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.9 over 89 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 17.0.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 16 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 44 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 11 run outs (3 direct, 8 assisted) in 122 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 89 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 156 wickets in 116 matches bowled in (of 122 played) — 1.34 per match at 17.0, economy 3.83, strike rate 26.7.
