Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.4 over 144 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 18% 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 216 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.2.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.86.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 44 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 216 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 144 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
389 wickets in 201 matches bowled in (of 216 played) — 1.94 per match at 15.2, economy 2.86, strike rate 32.0.
