Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 85 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.05 catches per match over 110 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.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 24 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 48 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 110 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 85 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 73 wickets in 99 matches bowled in (of 110 played) — 0.74 per match at 21.0, economy 4.64, strike rate 27.2.
