Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.8 over 8 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 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 8 · 4th grade 3). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 7.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.50 per match at 15.9, economy 3.17, strike rate 30.2.
