Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.6 over 120 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 3.43 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.31 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 32 · Club 16 · 4th grade 74 · 5th grade and below 7). 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: 43 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 130 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 120 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
131 wickets in 120 matches bowled in (of 130 played) — 1.09 per match at 23.0, economy 3.43, strike rate 40.2.
