Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.4 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

1.5 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.32 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 14% 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 23 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 28 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 19 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.57 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
5 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.45 per match at 39.2, economy 6.32, strike rate 37.2.
