Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.6 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.16 dismissals per match across 73 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 10 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.16 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 41 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
104 wickets in 64 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 1.62 per match at 15.4, economy 3.51, strike rate 26.3.
