Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.8 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% 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
0.24 dismissals per match across 54 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.11.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 54). 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: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 78 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.66 per match at 16.0, economy 3.11, strike rate 30.8.
