Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.6 over 119 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 17% 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 14.9.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.09.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 152). 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: 44 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 176 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 119 innings at 10.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
152 wickets in 167 matches bowled in (of 176 played) — 0.91 per match at 14.9, economy 3.09, strike rate 28.8.
