Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.5 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
9 of 18 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.66.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 46 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · Club 32). 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: 17 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 8.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.78 per match at 20.5, economy 3.66, strike rate 33.6.
