Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% 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 3.74 is excellent but a wicket every 54 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.74.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 34 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 34). 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: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.92 per match at 33.5, economy 3.74, strike rate 53.7.
