Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.3 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 25% 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 17.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.72.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 9.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 57 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.36 per match at 17.4, economy 2.72, strike rate 38.4.
