Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.3 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

11 of 20 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 38 matches (0.66 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 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 38). 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
Keeping: 21 catches + 6 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.76 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 27 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 7 wickets from 22.7 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
