Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 85 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% 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 27 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 1,000 runs in 85 innings, adjusted average 13.2, strike rate 37.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 22 wickets from 132.7 overs across 33 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 0.26 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
