Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.2 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.46 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.20 dismissals per match across 40 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 18 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 19 · 4th grade 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 11.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 40 matches — 1.12 per match at 23.6, economy 3.46, strike rate 40.9.
