Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.6 over 48 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% 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 3.44 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

0.23 dismissals per match across 78 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.45 for the level played (1st grade 17 · 2nd grade 25 · 3rd grade 21 · Club 15). 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: 16 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 48 innings at 6.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
80 wickets in 75 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.07 per match at 24.7, economy 3.44, strike rate 43.1.
