Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.20 dismissals per match across 35 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 140.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.71.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- 293 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 21.1, strike rate 140.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.56 per match at 19.7, economy 3.71, strike rate 31.8.
