Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

21 of 40 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 39 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.44 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 3rd grade 25 · 4th grade 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Keeping: 13 catches + 3 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.41 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 43 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 2 wickets from 7.2 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
