Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.4 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Boundary-or-block scoring pattern

87% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.50 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 3.59.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 12 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.56 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 4 · 4th grade 1). 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: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.67 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 7 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
11 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 1.22 per match at 18.1, economy 3.59, strike rate 30.3.
