Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 4.5 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 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 71). 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: 16 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 4.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 67 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.78 per match at 10.7, economy 2.72, strike rate 23.7.
