Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 28 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 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 28). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 19 wickets from 64.8 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.68 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
