Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.4 over 44 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 58 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 29 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 25). 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: 16 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 44 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
45 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.15 per match at 20.0, economy 3.40, strike rate 35.4.
