Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% 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 2.55.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 29 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 3 · Club 8 · 4th grade 18). 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
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.30 per match at 14.3, economy 2.55, strike rate 33.5.
