Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.5 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

6 of 10 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 13 matches (0.62 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.62 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 12 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
12 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 1.00 per match at 25.8, economy 5.15, strike rate 30.0.
