Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.1 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

7 of 13 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 40% 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

0.40 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 16.4.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 48 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 20 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
41 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.11 per match at 16.4, economy 4.17, strike rate 23.6.
