Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.7 over 40 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
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.07 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.07.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 56). 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: 15 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 6.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.90 per match at 23.3, economy 3.07, strike rate 45.4.
