Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% 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
0.23 dismissals per match across 44 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 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 16.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.60 per match at 26.0, economy 5.40, strike rate 28.9.
