Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.8 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.18 dismissals per match across 60 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.53.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 6 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 43 innings at 6.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
59 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.07 per match at 22.8, economy 3.53, strike rate 38.8.
