Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.7 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% 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 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (1st grade 9 · Rep Div 1 8 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 6 run outs (1 direct, 5 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 14.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.93 per match at 20.9, economy 3.82, strike rate 32.8.
