Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 1.2 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

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

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.8.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 14 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 10 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 10). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.50 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 6 innings at 1.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
11 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 1.22 per match at 12.8, economy 5.39, strike rate 14.3.
