Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.4 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.05.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 3 · 4th grade 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 7.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.14 per match at 17.1, economy 3.05, strike rate 33.6.
