Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 118 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 141). 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: 48 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 141 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 118 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 149 wickets in 111 matches bowled in (of 141 played) — 1.34 per match at 17.1, economy 3.20, strike rate 32.1.
