Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.4 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 9 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 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 9). 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
Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.56 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 8 innings at 8.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 5 wickets from 28.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
