Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.6 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 5.88 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% 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 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 11.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 86.0 overs across 24 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.62 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
