Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% 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 — 16 catches in 43 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 11 catches + 2 stumpings + 10 run outs (2 direct, 8 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.53 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 20.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 60.8 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.46 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
