Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.6 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

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 44 × 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
×0.48 for the level played (Rep Div 1 16 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 43 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 26 catches + 8 run outs (7 direct, 1 assisted) in 106 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 54 innings at 5.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
97 wickets in 102 matches bowled in (of 106 played) — 0.95 per match at 20.1, economy 4.12, strike rate 29.4.
