Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.7 over 58 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
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 95 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 37 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 50 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 95 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 11.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 124 wickets in 91 matches bowled in (of 95 played) — 1.36 per match at 29.3, economy 4.14, strike rate 42.5.
