Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.5 over 60 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.33 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 72 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 72). 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
Keeping: 20 catches + 4 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.36 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 60 innings at 9.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 18 wickets from 85.8 overs across 28 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.25 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
