Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.1 over 69 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.19 dismissals per match across 106 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.7.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.80.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 19 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 18 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 106 matches — 0.19 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 69 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
195 wickets in 96 matches bowled in (of 106 played) — 2.03 per match at 13.7, economy 2.80, strike rate 29.3.
