Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 37 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
11 of 19 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.30.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 73 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 86 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 130 wickets in 82 matches bowled in (of 86 played) — 1.59 per match at 14.8, economy 3.30, strike rate 26.9.
