Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.3 over 121 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.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.19 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 1 match since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 49 catches + 12 run outs (12 direct, 0 assisted) in 202 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 121 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 297 wickets from 2155.8 overs across 199 matches bowled in (of 202 played) — 1.49 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
