Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 4.9 over 93 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% 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 16 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 36 catches + 9 run outs (8 direct, 1 assisted) in 128 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 93 innings at 4.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 127 wickets in 119 matches bowled in (of 128 played) — 1.07 per match at 18.6, economy 3.85, strike rate 29.0.
