Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 3.5 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 34% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 3.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 0.76 per match at 17.2, economy 4.15, strike rate 25.0.
