Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.4 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% 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
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 36 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 10 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 13 catches + 5 stumpings + 11 run outs (1 direct, 10 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.81 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 8.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 47.8 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.24 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
