Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.1 over 97 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% 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

0.21 dismissals per match across 115 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.3.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.93.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.29 for the level played (Club 106 · 5th grade and below 9). 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: 23 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 115 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 97 innings at 14.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
83 wickets in 76 matches bowled in (of 115 played) — 1.09 per match at 17.3, economy 2.93, strike rate 35.5.
