Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.67.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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
- ×0.27 for the level played (Club 5 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.58 per match at 21.1, economy 3.67, strike rate 34.5.
