Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.8 over 78 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 23% 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 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (2nd grade 13 · 3rd grade 12 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 47 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 8 run outs (3 direct, 5 assisted) in 143 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 78 innings at 9.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 96 wickets in 109 matches bowled in (of 143 played) — 0.88 per match at 23.4, economy 4.59, strike rate 30.6.
