Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.3 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 44 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 39 wickets from 223.3 overs across 40 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.97 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
