Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.0 over 115 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
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.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 74 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 218 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 115 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
196 wickets in 195 matches bowled in (of 218 played) — 1.01 per match at 20.9, economy 4.42, strike rate 28.4.
