Critical recommendations
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 9 matches (1.00 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 67 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 9). 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
- Keeping: 9 catches + 1 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 1.22 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 7.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
