Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.2 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 6.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.18 per match at 16.7, economy 3.35, strike rate 29.9.
