Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.1 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

4 of 7 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 18% 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 17 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 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 17). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.59 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 11 innings at 6.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
4 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.50 per match at 63.5, economy 4.88, strike rate 78.0.
