Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.0 over 143 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.
medium
Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.21 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 64 catches in 151 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 151). 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: 39 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 151 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 143 innings at 10.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 82 matches bowled in (of 151 played) — 0.67 per match at 22.5, economy 3.96, strike rate 34.1.
