Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.5 over 129 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

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.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.2.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 41 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 166 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 129 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
282 wickets in 157 matches bowled in (of 166 played) — 1.80 per match at 13.2, economy 3.55, strike rate 22.4.
