Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.1 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

13 of 25 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 16% 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 16.6.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 70 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 26 catches + 10 run outs (6 direct, 4 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.51 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 38 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
80 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 1.21 per match at 16.6, economy 3.89, strike rate 25.6.
