Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.5 over 59 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
21 of 39 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 96 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 96 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 135 wickets in 90 matches bowled in (of 96 played) — 1.50 per match at 18.2, economy 4.52, strike rate 24.2.
