Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.7 over 63 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.19 dismissals per match across 75 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 18.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.69.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 63 innings at 10.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 89 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 1.25 per match at 18.0, economy 3.69, strike rate 29.2.
