Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.8 over 57 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.44 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 42 · 2nd grade 38 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 5 · 4th grade 1). 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: 24 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 125 wickets in 83 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 1.51 per match at 24.5, economy 3.44, strike rate 42.8.
