Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.1 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 30% 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 11.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.77.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 77 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · Club 79). 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: 28 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 6.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 141 wickets in 84 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 1.68 per match at 11.7, economy 2.77, strike rate 25.4.
