Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.7 over 82 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.29 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.21 dismissals per match across 105 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.77 for the level played (1st grade 61 · Rep Div 1 3 · 2nd grade 37 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 1 · 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: 22 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 105 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 82 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 158 wickets in 100 matches bowled in (of 105 played) — 1.58 per match at 23.4, economy 3.29, strike rate 42.7.
