Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.0 over 74 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.89.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (3rd grade 66 · 4th grade 5 · 5th grade and below 10). 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: 26 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 74 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 83 wickets in 72 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 1.15 per match at 18.4, economy 2.89, strike rate 38.1.
