Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 46 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
0.43 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 3.79.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 47 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 6 · 2nd grade 7 · Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.45 per match at 21.4, economy 3.79, strike rate 33.9.
