Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.8 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
9 of 17 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.
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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 58 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 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
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 55). 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: 26 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.36 per match at 20.0, economy 3.25, strike rate 37.0.
