Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.8 over 34 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 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 18 · Club 24). 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: 7 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 10.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 42 matches — 1.14 per match at 20.1, economy 3.81, strike rate 31.6.
