Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.7 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

5 of 5 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

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

  • ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 12 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting 33 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 12). 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
Keeping: 5 catches + 5 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.83 dismissals per match.
Batting
80 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 14.7, strike rate 52.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 4 wickets from 15.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
