Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 15.0 over 76 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 28 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 54 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 10 run outs (7 direct, 3 assisted) in 129 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 76 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 118 wickets in 118 matches bowled in (of 129 played) — 1.00 per match at 11.5, economy 3.20, strike rate 21.5.
