Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.6 over 117 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.03 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.24 dismissals per match across 146 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.03.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 146 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 117 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 185 wickets in 139 matches bowled in (of 146 played) — 1.33 per match at 21.8, economy 3.03, strike rate 43.1.
