Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.8 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% 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 2.99.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 (3rd grade 3 · Club 29 · 4th grade 13). 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 6.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 59 wickets in 45 matches — 1.31 per match at 19.6, economy 2.99, strike rate 39.3.
