Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.7 over 49 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% 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 46 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 111 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 386 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 11.7, strike rate 53.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 118 wickets in 96 matches bowled in (of 111 played) — 1.23 per match at 19.2, economy 3.86, strike rate 29.8.
