Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.2 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 22% 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 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 11.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.05 per match at 26.4, economy 4.06, strike rate 39.0.
