Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.3 over 92 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.76 for the level played (1st grade 35 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 42 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 37 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 137 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 92 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 181 wickets in 132 matches bowled in (of 137 played) — 1.37 per match at 23.7, economy 3.80, strike rate 37.5.
