Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 71 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 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
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 18 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 45 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 11 run outs (2 direct, 9 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 88 wickets in 69 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 1.28 per match at 19.4, economy 4.63, strike rate 25.1.
