Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.2 over 121 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 3.58 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.58.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 13 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 43 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 166 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 121 innings at 9.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
211 wickets in 159 matches bowled in (of 166 played) — 1.33 per match at 24.7, economy 3.58, strike rate 41.4.
