Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 5.4 over 80 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
26 of 44 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.50 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.50.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (2nd grade 46 · 3rd grade 58 · Club 1 · 4th grade 19 · 5th grade and below 6). 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: 33 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 130 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 5.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 155 wickets in 126 matches bowled in (of 130 played) — 1.23 per match at 27.3, economy 3.50, strike rate 46.9.
