Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.0 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 44% 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 — 12 catches in 33 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 6.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.16 per match at 14.3, economy 2.98, strike rate 28.7.
