Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.2 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
5 of 8 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 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 1.69.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 9 matches (1.00 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 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
- ×0.46 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 4 · Club 3). 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: 8 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 1.11 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 7.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 2 wickets in 1 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.22 per match at 22.0, economy 1.69, strike rate 78.0.
