Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.4 over 52 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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.52.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 19 · 4th grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 38 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 117 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 130 wickets in 106 matches bowled in (of 117 played) — 1.23 per match at 22.9, economy 3.52, strike rate 39.0.
