Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% 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 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 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 (3rd grade 1 · Club 5 · 4th grade 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 1.50 per match at 19.1, economy 4.43, strike rate 25.8.
