Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 95 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.10.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 94). 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: 27 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 99 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 95 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 87 wickets in 95 matches bowled in (of 99 played) — 0.92 per match at 16.9, economy 3.10, strike rate 32.7.
