Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.3 over 19 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 27 matches (0.85 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 68 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 17 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 23 catches + 2 stumpings + 9 run outs (2 direct, 7 assisted) in 27 matches — 1.26 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 19 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
