Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.7 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% 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 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 14.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 62.3 overs across 27 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.59 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
