Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.3 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% 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
0.43 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 3.30.
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 63 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 51). 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: 27 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 87 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 1.47 per match at 20.4, economy 3.30, strike rate 37.1.
