Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.5 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 27% 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 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.20 for the level played (5th grade and below 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 9.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 74 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 1.04 per match at 20.1, economy 4.59, strike rate 26.2.
