Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.5 over 51 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 120 wickets in 87 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 1.38 per match at 17.4, economy 4.39, strike rate 23.8.
