Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.9 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.16 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.19 dismissals per match across 72 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.16.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.55 for the level played (1st grade 13 · 2nd grade 30 · 3rd grade 28 · Club 1). 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: 11 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.19 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 41 innings at 13.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
98 wickets in 69 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 1.42 per match at 21.9, economy 3.16, strike rate 41.6.
