Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.3 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
12 of 23 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.03.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 46). 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: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.18 per match at 13.3, economy 3.03, strike rate 26.3.
