Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 24% 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 — 22 catches in 61 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 1.06 per match at 23.7, economy 4.60, strike rate 30.8.
