Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.6 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

12 of 16 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

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.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.51 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.65 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 17 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 3 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.65 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 17 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 9 wickets from 62.3 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.75 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
