Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.7 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 65 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 (3rd grade 1 · Club 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 1.04 per match at 21.9, economy 4.25, strike rate 30.9.
