Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 3.1 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

3 of 6 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% 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

0.73 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 11 matches (0.73 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 3 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.73 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 8 innings at 3.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 10 wickets from 36.2 overs across 11 matches — 0.91 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
