Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.1 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (1st grade 12 · Rep Div 1 14 · 2nd grade 12 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 53 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 0.84 per match at 23.4, economy 4.05, strike rate 34.6.
