Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.6 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.20 dismissals per match across 81 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.83 for the level played (1st grade 23 · 2nd grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 16 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 44 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
95 wickets in 72 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 1.32 per match at 26.7, economy 4.25, strike rate 37.7.
