Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 2.1 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 62% 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 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 2.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 14 matches — 0.71 per match at 33.4, economy 4.76, strike rate 42.1.
