Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.8 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% 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 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (Rep Div 1 22 · Club 21). 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: 10 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 10.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.06 per match at 18.0, economy 4.04, strike rate 26.7.
