Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 53 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% 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 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (Rep Div 1 18 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 42 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 76 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 68 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 0.69 per match at 22.7, economy 4.29, strike rate 31.7.
