Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 68 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.19 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 75 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 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
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 34 · 3rd grade 3 · Rep Div 2 7 · Club 11 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 14). 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: 17 catches + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 68 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 17 wickets from 96.2 overs across 29 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 0.23 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
