Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.1 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.62 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.16 dismissals per match across 31 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.62.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.82 for the level played (National competition 7 · 1st grade 16 · 2nd grade 8). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.16 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 15 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
44 wickets in 31 matches — 1.42 per match at 27.0, economy 3.62, strike rate 44.7.
