Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.5 over 77 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.18 dismissals per match across 87 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 27 · 2nd grade 16 · 3rd grade 18 · Club 19 · 4th grade 4). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 77 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 60 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 1.07 per match at 19.6, economy 3.40, strike rate 34.7.
