Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.4 over 76 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

38 of 72 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 24% 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 112.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 68 catches in 82 matches (0.83 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 43 catches + 2 stumpings + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.59 dismissals per match.
Batting
1,043 runs in 76 innings, adjusted average 14.5, strike rate 54.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 12 wickets from 64.8 overs across 18 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
