Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 94 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.70.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (1st grade 24 · Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 16 · Club 47 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 5). 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: 30 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 113 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 94 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 173 wickets in 102 matches bowled in (of 113 played) — 1.70 per match at 16.0, economy 2.70, strike rate 35.5.
