Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

13 of 24 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 22 matches (0.68 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 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 22). 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: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.73 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 24 innings at 16.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 10.5 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
