Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.0 over 45 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
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 49 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.72 for the level played (1st grade 7 · Rep Div 1 32 · Club 10). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.77 per match at 21.6, economy 3.41, strike rate 37.9.
