Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.0 over 71 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

29 of 57 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.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.22 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.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 85 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 17 × 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 39 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
829 runs in 71 innings, adjusted average 14.0, strike rate 68.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
47 wickets in 77 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 0.61 per match at 31.9, economy 6.22, strike rate 30.8.
