Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

101 of 201 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.12 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 114 catches in 238 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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
×0.21 for the level played (Club 1 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 89 catches + 12 run outs (12 direct, 0 assisted) in 238 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 218 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
