Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.3 over 129 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.41 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.18 dismissals per match across 148 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.66 for the level played (1st grade 66 · Rep Div 1 9 · 2nd grade 68 · 3rd grade 2 · 4th grade 3). 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: 25 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 148 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 129 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
227 wickets in 141 matches bowled in (of 148 played) — 1.61 per match at 26.1, economy 3.41, strike rate 46.0.
