Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.1 over 66 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% 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
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.75.
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 68 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 35 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 66 innings at 14.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 91 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 1.69 per match at 17.7, economy 3.75, strike rate 28.3.
