Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 71 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 71). 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: 33 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.51 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 68 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
65 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 1.05 per match at 23.5, economy 4.13, strike rate 34.2.
