Critical recommendations
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
- ✓ Safe hands — 44 catches in 115 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 12 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 39 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 115 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 101 innings at 25.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 101 wickets in 84 matches bowled in (of 115 played) — 1.20 per match at 15.7, economy 3.73, strike rate 25.2.
