Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.1 over 81 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% 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
0.21 dismissals per match across 135 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.16.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 32 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 58 · 4th grade 12 · 5th grade and below 32). 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: 23 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 135 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 81 innings at 6.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 127 wickets in 123 matches bowled in (of 135 played) — 1.03 per match at 16.8, economy 3.16, strike rate 31.8.
