Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.9 over 80 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.78.
- ✓ Safe hands — 36 catches in 97 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 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
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 16 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 97 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 97 played) — 1.03 per match at 17.4, economy 3.78, strike rate 27.6.
