Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.8 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

10 of 13 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.62 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 21 matches (0.62 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.67 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 15 innings at 7.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
20 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 1.05 per match at 20.8, economy 4.87, strike rate 25.7.
