Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.0 over 20 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 24 matches (0.88 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 78 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 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: 21 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 24 matches — 1.00 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 20 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
17 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.77 per match at 35.2, economy 4.98, strike rate 42.4.
