Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.2 over 60 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

24 of 45 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 32% 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

0.20 dismissals per match across 74 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 74). 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: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 60 innings at 11.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
110 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 1.77 per match at 17.0, economy 3.59, strike rate 28.4.
