Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.1 over 87 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.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.52 for the level played (National competition 1 · 1st grade 58 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 34 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 21). 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: 32 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 122 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 87 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
226 wickets in 118 matches bowled in (of 122 played) — 1.92 per match at 20.0, economy 3.38, strike rate 35.5.
