Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.9 over 85 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

36 of 56 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 20% 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 2.83 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 146 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.83.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 (Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 32 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 30 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 146 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 85 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
157 wickets in 142 matches bowled in (of 146 played) — 1.11 per match at 20.8, economy 2.83, strike rate 44.1.
