Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.3 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 12.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.09 per match at 20.3, economy 4.47, strike rate 27.2.
