Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.3 over 86 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
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.38 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 88 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 35 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 88 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 86 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 88 wickets from 595.8 overs across 68 matches bowled in (of 88 played) — 1.29 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
