Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.9 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

7 of 14 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 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.99 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 19 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 19 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.58 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 16 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
14 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.88 per match at 30.1, economy 3.99, strike rate 45.4.
