Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.1 over 56 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

31 of 41 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 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.16 dismissals per match across 92 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.58.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.16 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 56 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
71 wickets in 74 matches bowled in (of 92 played) — 0.96 per match at 21.4, economy 3.58, strike rate 36.0.
