Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 3.2 over 56 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

21 of 27 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.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.13 catches per match over 69 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.11.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 9 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.17 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 56 innings at 3.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
141 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 2.14 per match at 18.5, economy 3.11, strike rate 35.6.
