Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 27% 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 18.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.64.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 1 1 · Club 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.05 per match at 18.0, economy 3.64, strike rate 29.6.
