Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.1 over 51 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
highFielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.13 catches per match over 62 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 7 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 51 innings at 14.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 37 wickets from 199.2 overs across 47 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 0.79 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
