Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.9 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 22% 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 — 8 catches in 23 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.50 per match at 31.0, economy 4.63, strike rate 40.2.
