Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.4 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 9 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.78 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 8 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 8.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
