Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.9 over 87 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 21% 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
0.19 dismissals per match across 93 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 87 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 108 wickets in 80 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 1.35 per match at 17.7, economy 3.33, strike rate 31.9.
