Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 44 matches (0.45 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 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 13 catches + 1 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.32 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 32.8 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
