Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.2 over 55 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% 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 3.22 is excellent but a wicket every 56 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.22.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 24 × 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 71 · 2nd grade 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: 20 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 55 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
94 wickets in 72 matches — 1.31 per match at 30.0, economy 3.22, strike rate 56.0.
