Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 67 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 17.5.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 28 · Club 77). 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: 33 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 105 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 122 wickets in 95 matches bowled in (of 105 played) — 1.28 per match at 17.5, economy 4.05, strike rate 25.9.
