Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.9 over 151 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 3.38 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.42 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 9 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 46 catches + 7 run outs (6 direct, 1 assisted) in 215 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 151 innings at 6.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
308 wickets in 203 matches bowled in (of 215 played) — 1.52 per match at 22.9, economy 3.38, strike rate 40.6.
