Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.0 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% 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 — 9 catches in 24 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.63 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.11 per match at 24.2, economy 4.66, strike rate 31.2.
