Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.1 over 107 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

32 of 62 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 62 catches + 10 run outs (9 direct, 1 assisted) in 248 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 107 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
400 wickets in 236 matches bowled in (of 248 played) — 1.69 per match at 22.1, economy 3.80, strike rate 34.9.
