Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 3.3 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
16 of 32 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.57.
- ✓ Safe hands — 60 catches in 163 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 60 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 163 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 3.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 230 wickets in 148 matches bowled in (of 163 played) — 1.55 per match at 16.8, economy 3.57, strike rate 28.2.
