Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.5 over 67 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
24 of 43 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.20 dismissals per match across 96 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.66.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 96 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 8.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 123 wickets in 87 matches bowled in (of 96 played) — 1.41 per match at 16.9, economy 3.66, strike rate 27.7.
