Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.5 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
14 of 22 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 68 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 11 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 64 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 1.17 per match at 24.9, economy 4.79, strike rate 31.2.
