Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.6 over 62 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% 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 — 27 catches in 73 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.48 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 4 · 4th grade 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 10 run outs (2 direct, 8 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 62 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 0.93 per match at 22.7, economy 3.95, strike rate 34.4.
