Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.5 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 23% 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 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · 3rd grade 2 · 4th grade 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 6.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.26 per match at 19.5, economy 4.30, strike rate 27.2.
