Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.8 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 23% 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 15 matches (0.87 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 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 15). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.67 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 13 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 2 wickets from 9.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
