Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.9 over 57 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
14 of 27 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
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 80 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 62). 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: 16 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 6.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 119 wickets in 77 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 1.55 per match at 21.7, economy 3.35, strike rate 38.8.
