Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.3 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% 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 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.37 per match at 19.8, economy 3.93, strike rate 30.2.
