Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.2 over 97 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

38 of 76 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

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.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.24 dismissals per match across 125 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.9.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 36 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 28 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 125 matches — 0.24 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 97 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
153 wickets in 104 matches bowled in (of 125 played) — 1.47 per match at 14.9, economy 3.65, strike rate 24.5.
