Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 75 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% 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
0.79 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 61 catches in 77 matches (0.79 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 19 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 49 catches + 19 stumpings + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.95 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 75 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 43.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
