Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.6 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% 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 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (1st grade 22 · Rep Div 1 7 · 2nd grade 10 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 82 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 1.44 per match at 20.0, economy 4.07, strike rate 29.5.
