Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.5 over 68 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% 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
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 68 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 67). 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: 25 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 68 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 0.89 per match at 27.8, economy 4.36, strike rate 38.2.
