Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.8 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

11 of 22 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 26 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 14 catches + 3 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.65 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 24 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
