Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.0 over 48 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
highBowling
Conceding too many extras
0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
mediumBatting
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.
infoFielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 59 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · Club 45). 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: 17 catches + 13 run outs (13 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.51 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 48 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
27 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.64 per match at 13.7, economy 3.85, strike rate 21.4.
