Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.9 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% 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 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.20 per match at 23.2, economy 5.50, strike rate 25.3.
