Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 98 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% 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 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 47 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 116 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 98 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 96 matches bowled in (of 116 played) — 0.75 per match at 23.9, economy 5.30, strike rate 27.1.
