Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.6 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 13% 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

0.23 dismissals per match across 56 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.21.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 77 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 16 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 46 innings at 11.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
64 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.28 per match at 10.6, economy 3.21, strike rate 19.9.
