Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.3 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% 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 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (1st grade 7 · Club 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 7.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 1.12 per match at 35.4, economy 4.09, strike rate 52.0.
