Critical recommendations
high
Batting

Adjusted average of 10.1 over 69 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.52.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 12 run outs (7 direct, 5 assisted) in 96 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 459 runs in 69 innings, adjusted average 10.1, strike rate 60.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 126 wickets in 93 matches bowled in (of 96 played) — 1.35 per match at 18.1, economy 3.52, strike rate 30.8.
