  • ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.7 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

13 of 24 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 37 matches (0.62 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 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 37). 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: 15 catches + 5 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.54 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 28 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 4 wickets from 7.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
