Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.6 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% 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
0.42 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 2.92.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 57 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 17 · Club 40). 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: 24 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 1.16 per match at 18.7, economy 2.92, strike rate 38.3.
