Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.8 over 90 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.22 dismissals per match across 176 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.64.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.81 for the level played (1st grade 153 · 2nd grade 18 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 3). 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: 33 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 176 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 90 innings at 7.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
283 wickets in 172 matches bowled in (of 176 played) — 1.65 per match at 23.4, economy 3.64, strike rate 38.5.
