Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% 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
0.17 dismissals per match across 151 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 151 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 130 innings at 17.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 82 wickets in 121 matches bowled in (of 151 played) — 0.68 per match at 22.1, economy 3.95, strike rate 33.6.
