Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.5 over 64 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 23% 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

0.27 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 74 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 15 × 30%. 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 34 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 64 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
22 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 0.42 per match at 35.1, economy 4.42, strike rate 47.6.
