Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.5 over 57 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

20 of 38 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 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.27 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

Strengths

  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 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
×0.48 for the level played (1st grade 8 · Rep Div 1 3 · Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 32 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 19 catches + 5 stumpings + 7 run outs (2 direct, 5 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.34 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 57 innings at 5.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 13.5 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
