Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.4 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 14% 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 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 103 wickets in 86 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 1.20 per match at 23.5, economy 3.66, strike rate 38.5.
