Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.3 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% 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
0.48 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 15.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 46 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 46). 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: 22 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.80 per match at 15.7, economy 3.20, strike rate 29.3.
