Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.1 over 77 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

28 of 48 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 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 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 19 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 48 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 32 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 140 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 77 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
160 wickets in 132 matches bowled in (of 140 played) — 1.21 per match at 18.2, economy 4.23, strike rate 25.8.
