Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.3 over 77 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

31 of 62 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.9.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.51 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 40 · 3rd grade 16 · Club 30 · 4th grade 1). 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: 28 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 88 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 77 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
116 wickets in 81 matches bowled in (of 88 played) — 1.43 per match at 15.9, economy 3.06, strike rate 31.3.
