Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.2 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% 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

0.94 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 3.69.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 34 matches (0.94 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 4 · Club 27 · 4th grade 3). 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
Keeping: 28 catches + 3 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.94 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 26 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
8 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.24 per match at 38.9, economy 3.69, strike rate 63.3.
