Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.5 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
13 of 26 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 18% 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 10.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.48.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 53 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 8.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 97 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 2.02 per match at 11.0, economy 2.48, strike rate 26.5.
