Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.0 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

6 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 30% 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

0.50 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 14.7.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 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 54 × 40% · Batting 38 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 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
77 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 10.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
24 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 2.67 per match at 14.7, economy 4.18, strike rate 21.1.
