Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.9 over 127 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.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 74 catches in 199 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.75 for the level played (1st grade 16 · 2nd grade 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 74 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 199 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 127 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
280 wickets in 187 matches bowled in (of 199 played) — 1.50 per match at 23.9, economy 3.99, strike rate 35.8.
