Critical recommendations
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
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.80.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 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
- ×0.21 for the level played (4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 21.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 95 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 1.56 per match at 15.9, economy 2.80, strike rate 34.0.
