Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.55 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.55.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 74). 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 + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 69 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 0.62 per match at 17.3, economy 2.55, strike rate 40.7.
