Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.8 over 37 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 39 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 9.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.46 per match at 34.6, economy 5.23, strike rate 39.8.
