Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.5 over 63 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% 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 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 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 (2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 20 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 63 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 109 wickets in 86 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 1.27 per match at 26.9, economy 4.26, strike rate 38.0.
