Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.3 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.63.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 (2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 13 · Club 7 · 4th grade 14). 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: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.24 per match at 22.6, economy 3.63, strike rate 37.5.
