Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.7 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

14 of 26 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.18.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 45 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 33 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 20 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.51 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 34 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
60 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.43 per match at 16.0, economy 3.18, strike rate 30.2.
