Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.1 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.14 catches per match over 59 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (1st grade 31 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 27). 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
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 11.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.22 per match at 29.4, economy 4.31, strike rate 41.0.
