Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.7 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

17 of 30 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

0.42 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 3.79.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 67 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 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: 28 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.45 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 44 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
67 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 1.08 per match at 22.6, economy 3.79, strike rate 35.9.
