Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.8 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 21% 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 11.1.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 21 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.48 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 19 innings at 10.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
28 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 1.40 per match at 11.1, economy 3.81, strike rate 17.5.
