Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.6 over 94 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.75.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 136 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 94 innings at 10.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 230 wickets in 131 matches bowled in (of 136 played) — 1.76 per match at 16.5, economy 3.75, strike rate 26.4.
