Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.2 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.52 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 25% 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

0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 32 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 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 32). 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
Keeping: 12 catches + 0 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.41 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 28 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 13 wickets from 83.7 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.65 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
