Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.8 over 184 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.24.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 80 catches in 211 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 78 · 3rd grade 111 · 4th grade 21 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 79 catches + 13 run outs (13 direct, 0 assisted) in 211 matches — 0.44 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 184 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
320 wickets in 200 matches bowled in (of 211 played) — 1.60 per match at 20.4, economy 3.24, strike rate 37.8.
