Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.7 over 151 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.14 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.14.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 86 catches in 214 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 15 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.55 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 21 · 3rd grade 8 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 85 catches + 15 run outs (13 direct, 2 assisted) in 214 matches — 0.47 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 151 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
297 wickets in 196 matches bowled in (of 214 played) — 1.52 per match at 22.2, economy 3.14, strike rate 42.3.
