Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.9 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.19 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 54 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 10 catches + 10 run outs (7 direct, 3 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.37 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 46 innings at 10.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
22 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.55 per match at 26.2, economy 4.23, strike rate 37.2.
