Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.2 over 80 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 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 36 · Club 3 · 4th grade 27 · 5th grade and below 34). 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: 34 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 102 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 151 wickets in 98 matches bowled in (of 102 played) — 1.54 per match at 24.9, economy 3.46, strike rate 43.2.
