Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 59 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.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.64 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.64.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 23 · Club 48 · 5th grade and below 8). 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: 15 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 73 wickets in 74 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 0.99 per match at 18.4, economy 2.64, strike rate 41.9.
