Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% 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 13.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (Rep Div 1 26 · Club 27). 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 + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.93 per match at 13.6, economy 3.06, strike rate 26.7.
