Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.7 over 67 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% 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 3.46.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.84 for the level played (1st grade 19 · 2nd grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 118 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 178 wickets in 114 matches bowled in (of 118 played) — 1.56 per match at 22.4, economy 3.46, strike rate 39.0.
