Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.6 over 47 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 105 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 142 wickets in 100 matches bowled in (of 105 played) — 1.42 per match at 16.3, economy 3.65, strike rate 26.8.
