Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.4 over 86 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.27 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 45 catches in 98 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 33 · Club 64 · 4th grade 1). 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.24 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 86 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
22 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 0.22 per match at 19.9, economy 4.44, strike rate 26.9.
