Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.1 over 120 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

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 Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.22 dismissals per match across 154 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.74.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.75 for the level played (1st grade 128 · 2nd grade 23 · Club 3). 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: 26 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 154 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 120 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
214 wickets in 151 matches bowled in (of 154 played) — 1.42 per match at 23.8, economy 3.74, strike rate 38.2.
