Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.9 over 110 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% 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 3.54 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.54.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.84 for the level played (1st grade 165 · 2nd grade 4 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 48 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 170 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 110 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 291 wickets in 166 matches bowled in (of 170 played) — 1.75 per match at 25.2, economy 3.54, strike rate 42.7.
