Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.9 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% 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
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 33 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.31 per match at 15.8, economy 3.55, strike rate 26.8.
