Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.64 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.64.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 29 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (3rd grade 6 · Club 2 · 4th grade 7 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.00 per match at 25.1, economy 3.64, strike rate 41.3.
