Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.4 over 142 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
mediumBowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.03 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
mediumFielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.19 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
infoFielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
✓ Safe hands — 75 catches in 173 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 36 · Rep Div 2 11 · Club 114 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 11). 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: 51 catches + 12 run outs (12 direct, 0 assisted) in 173 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 142 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
64 wickets in 115 matches bowled in (of 173 played) — 0.56 per match at 20.6, economy 3.03, strike rate 40.8.
