Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 4.3 over 151 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

51 of 85 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 Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.09 catches per match over 299 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 28% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.36.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 3 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 31 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 26 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 299 matches — 0.09 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 151 innings at 4.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
333 wickets in 273 matches bowled in (of 299 played) — 1.22 per match at 18.2, economy 3.36, strike rate 32.5.
