Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.6 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

11 of 15 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.74 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 21 matches (0.86 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 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 21). 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: 10 catches + 5 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.71 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 16 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 11 wickets from 76.7 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.92 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
