Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.8 over 185 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% 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 3.49 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.57 for the level played (National competition 2 · 1st grade 142 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 44 · 3rd grade 15 · Club 40 · 4th grade 10 · 5th grade and below 6). 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: 65 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 260 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 185 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
324 wickets in 241 matches bowled in (of 260 played) — 1.34 per match at 26.5, economy 3.49, strike rate 45.5.
