Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.6 over 67 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% 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
0.21 dismissals per match across 111 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.32.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 111). 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: 22 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 111 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 6.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 166 wickets in 98 matches bowled in (of 111 played) — 1.69 per match at 16.2, economy 3.32, strike rate 29.3.
