Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 5.2 over 110 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
mediumBatting
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
✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.19.
✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 28 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 34 catches + 12 run outs (10 direct, 2 assisted) in 169 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 110 innings at 5.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
267 wickets in 166 matches bowled in (of 169 played) — 1.61 per match at 20.3, economy 3.19, strike rate 38.2.
