  • ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.4 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

9 of 12 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 16 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 1 match since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.44 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 15 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 24 wickets from 99.3 overs across 16 matches — 1.50 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
