Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.3 over 99 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 42 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 37 catches + 12 run outs (3 direct, 9 assisted) in 119 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 99 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 88 matches bowled in (of 119 played) — 0.74 per match at 16.8, economy 3.34, strike rate 30.2.
