Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.4 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 16% 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 3.08 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 3.08.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.50 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 23 · 4th grade 5). 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: 11 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 45 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
39 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.11 per match at 22.3, economy 3.08, strike rate 43.3.
