Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 3.9 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 33% 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 13.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.61.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 38 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 38). 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: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 3.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.85 per match at 13.1, economy 2.61, strike rate 30.1.
