Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.8 over 82 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% 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 14.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.89.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 82 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 153 wickets in 81 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 1.89 per match at 14.5, economy 2.89, strike rate 30.1.
