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
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.16 dismissals per match across 44 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 11 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.35 per match at 24.7, economy 4.33, strike rate 34.3.
