Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.0 over 66 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% 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 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 31). 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: 18 catches + 9 run outs (5 direct, 4 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 66 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 0.68 per match at 26.5, economy 4.52, strike rate 35.1.
