Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.5 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% 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 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 19 · 4th grade 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.90 per match at 26.6, economy 4.24, strike rate 37.7.
