Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.8 over 49 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 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 45 · 5th grade and below 7). 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: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 8.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 87 wickets in 52 matches — 1.67 per match at 22.0, economy 3.86, strike rate 34.2.
