Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.1 over 66 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
27 of 48 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% 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 13.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.61.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 76). 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: 21 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 76 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 66 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 0.66 per match at 13.6, economy 3.61, strike rate 22.6.
