Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.8 over 55 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
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (3rd grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.78 per match at 24.3, economy 4.59, strike rate 31.8.
