Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.8 over 137 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% 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 3.27 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.23 dismissals per match across 188 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.77 for the level played (National competition 5 · 1st grade 167 · 2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 5 · 4th grade 6). 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: 32 catches + 12 run outs (12 direct, 0 assisted) in 188 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 137 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
274 wickets in 176 matches bowled in (of 188 played) — 1.56 per match at 24.9, economy 3.27, strike rate 45.7.
