Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 55 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% 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 14.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
- ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 80 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 32 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 112 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 1.60 per match at 14.2, economy 3.00, strike rate 28.4.
