Critical recommendations
high
Bowling
Conceding too many extras
1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (1st grade 15 · Rep Div 1 8 · 2nd grade 14 · Club 27). 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: 13 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 18.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.50 per match at 25.1, economy 4.80, strike rate 31.4.
