Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.8 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 32 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.59 for the level played (2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 17 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.53 per match.
Batting
353 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 13.9, strike rate 50.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
43 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.48 per match at 22.4, economy 3.59, strike rate 37.5.
