Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.5 over 83 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% 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
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.28.
- ✓ Safe hands — 36 catches in 90 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. 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 90). 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: 36 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 83 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 102 wickets in 75 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 1.36 per match at 18.1, economy 3.28, strike rate 33.1.
