Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.3 over 52 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.14 catches per match over 111 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.36 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.36.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.64 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 29 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 16 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 111 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 52 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
131 wickets in 106 matches bowled in (of 111 played) — 1.24 per match at 23.3, economy 3.36, strike rate 41.5.
