Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.9 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 22 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 6.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.72 per match at 22.8, economy 5.22, strike rate 26.2.
