Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.0 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% 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

0.21 dismissals per match across 19 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.7.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.81 for the level played (1st grade 16 · Rep Div 1 1 · Club 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 16 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
40 wickets in 19 matches — 2.11 per match at 17.7, economy 3.44, strike rate 30.9.
