Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.5 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% 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
0.41 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 3.50.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 34 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 34). 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: 13 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.96 per match at 20.2, economy 3.50, strike rate 34.6.
