Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.7 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.42 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 19 matches (0.37 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 19). 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: 7 catches + 1 stumpings + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.58 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 11.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 1.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
