Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 5.1 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumFielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 79 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.8.
✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.68.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 35 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 19 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
120 wickets in 78 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 1.54 per match at 15.8, economy 3.68, strike rate 25.8.
