Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.9 over 58 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 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 43 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 49 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 1.07 per match at 18.4, economy 4.34, strike rate 25.5.
