Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% 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 12.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.64.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.63 for the level played (State competition 2 · Rep Div 1 33 · Club 15). 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 + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 1.63 per match at 12.2, economy 2.64, strike rate 27.6.
