Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.1 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 27% 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

0.56 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 12.4.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.87.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 36 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 36). 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: 14 catches + 2 stumpings + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.47 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 7.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
29 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.45 per match at 12.4, economy 2.87, strike rate 25.9.
