Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.1 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

6 of 8 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% 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 — 8 catches in 9 matches (0.89 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.51 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 5). 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
Keeping: 6 catches + 0 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.78 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 9 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
6 wickets in 9 matches — 0.67 per match at 24.7, economy 4.93, strike rate 30.0.
