Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.6 over 58 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 76 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (1st grade 31 · 2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 24 · 4th grade 2). 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: 17 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 76 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 11.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 124 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 1.70 per match at 16.6, economy 3.06, strike rate 32.4.
