Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.2 over 58 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.24 dismissals per match across 82 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.32.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 11.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 1.17 per match at 17.4, economy 3.32, strike rate 31.3.
