Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.18 dismissals per match across 240 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 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
×0.79 for the level played (1st grade 187 · Rep Div 1 21 · 2nd grade 21 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 7). 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: 37 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 240 matches — 0.17 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 193 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
436 wickets in 230 matches bowled in (of 240 played) — 1.90 per match at 21.4, economy 3.55, strike rate 36.1.
