Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.4 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
16 of 22 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% 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 17.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 41 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.12 per match at 17.8, economy 4.80, strike rate 22.2.
