Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.0 over 25 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.86.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 8.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 32 matches — 1.47 per match at 16.1, economy 2.86, strike rate 33.8.
