Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 75 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
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 65 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 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 (3rd grade 5 · Club 38 · 4th grade 22). 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: 20 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 75 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 37.7 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
