Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 5.5 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 23% 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 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · 2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 5.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 64 wickets in 75 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 0.85 per match at 22.8, economy 4.43, strike rate 31.0.
