Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.7 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (2nd grade 21 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 1 · 4th grade 4). 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: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 2.09 per match at 19.4, economy 3.55, strike rate 32.7.
