Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.5 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 48 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.3.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 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
- ×0.39 for the level played (National competition 5 · Rep Div 1 2 · Club 41). 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: 8 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.26 per match at 16.3, economy 4.21, strike rate 23.2.
