Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.5 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 16% 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

0.54 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 12.7.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 26 matches (0.54 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 64 × 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 26). 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: 11 catches + 5 run outs (0 direct, 5 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.62 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 25 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
23 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.05 per match at 12.7, economy 4.46, strike rate 17.1.
