Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.0 over 137 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.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.00 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 231 · 2nd grade 4 · Club 5). 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: 55 catches + 10 run outs (10 direct, 0 assisted) in 240 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 137 innings at 9.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
385 wickets in 239 matches bowled in (of 240 played) — 1.61 per match at 22.7, economy 3.00, strike rate 45.4.
