Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.0 over 145 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
mediumBowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.83 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 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
×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 83 · 2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 53). 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: 43 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 149 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 145 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
189 wickets in 147 matches bowled in (of 149 played) — 1.29 per match at 29.6, economy 3.83, strike rate 46.2.
