Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.2 over 58 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 26% 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 — 27 catches in 77 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 0.70 per match at 21.5, economy 4.20, strike rate 30.7.
