Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.5 over 53 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.96.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.24 for the level played (Club 65 · 5th grade and below 22). 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 + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 8.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 109 wickets in 84 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 1.30 per match at 15.3, economy 2.96, strike rate 31.1.
