Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Boundary-or-block scoring pattern
74% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (3rd grade 14 · Club 58). 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: 23 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 73 innings at 16.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 86 wickets in 65 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 1.32 per match at 18.0, economy 3.89, strike rate 27.7.
