Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 3.2 over 13 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.46.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 2 3 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 3.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 60 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 2.31 per match at 10.9, economy 2.46, strike rate 26.6.
