Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.5 over 56 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
1.24 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 73 catches in 59 matches (1.24 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 15 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 75 × 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 35 · 2nd grade 13 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 10). 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: 72 catches + 15 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 1.51 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 56 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 4.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
