Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.6 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% 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 42 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 12 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 46 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
39 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.97 per match at 22.5, economy 4.58, strike rate 29.4.
