Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% 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 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 26 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.40 per match at 42.6, economy 4.24, strike rate 60.3.
