Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.8 over 70 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

30 of 58 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 21% 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 91 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 34 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 30 catches + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.41 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 70 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
76 wickets in 79 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 0.96 per match at 28.3, economy 5.41, strike rate 31.4.
