Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.0 over 108 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
highBatting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
41 of 75 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.
highFielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.14 catches per match over 125 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 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 20 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · Club 111). 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: 16 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 125 matches — 0.16 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 108 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
52 wickets in 68 matches bowled in (of 125 played) — 0.76 per match at 13.1, economy 4.52, strike rate 17.3.
