Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.5 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.17 per match at 16.4, economy 5.23, strike rate 18.7.
