Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.8 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.58.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 49 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.25 for the level played (Club 2 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 10.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 60 wickets in 49 matches — 1.22 per match at 20.2, economy 3.58, strike rate 33.8.
