Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.9 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
13 of 22 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
0.44 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 17.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.18.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 27 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.25 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 6 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 16). 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: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.73 per match at 17.1, economy 3.18, strike rate 32.2.
