Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.5 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% 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 — 18 catches in 50 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 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 50). 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
- Outfield: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 1.04 per match at 19.3, economy 4.27, strike rate 27.1.
