Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.9 over 49 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% 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 15.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 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
- ×0.26 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · Club 40 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 15). 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: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 69 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.41 per match at 15.0, economy 3.20, strike rate 28.2.
