Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 4.6 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 25% 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 3.53 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

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

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.53.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 34 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 19 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.59 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 28 innings at 4.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
29 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.94 per match at 27.4, economy 3.53, strike rate 46.7.
