Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.8 over 64 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 5.65 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.19 dismissals per match across 73 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 64 innings at 9.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 40 wickets from 214.3 overs across 44 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 0.91 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
