Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 38 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
0.41 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 3.53.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 44 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 388 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 12.1, strike rate 93.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 71 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.69 per match at 23.4, economy 3.53, strike rate 39.9.
