Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.7 over 58 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 69 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 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 69). 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: 30 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.43 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 58 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
31 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 1.00 per match at 28.1, economy 4.44, strike rate 38.0.
