Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.5 over 66 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.20 dismissals per match across 85 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.18.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 42 · Club 31 · 4th grade 8). 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: 12 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 66 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 1.03 per match at 17.3, economy 3.18, strike rate 32.7.
