Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.7 over 114 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.97.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 84 · 2nd grade 5 · Club 63 · 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: 43 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 153 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 114 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
246 wickets in 144 matches bowled in (of 153 played) — 1.71 per match at 18.9, economy 2.97, strike rate 38.1.
