Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.8 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% 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 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 20 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.98 per match at 20.5, economy 4.15, strike rate 29.6.
