Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.1 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% 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 3.41 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 82 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.46 for the level played (2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 6 · 4th grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 13 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 41 innings at 6.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
115 wickets in 79 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 1.46 per match at 23.6, economy 3.41, strike rate 41.5.
