Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.9 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
14 of 28 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% 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 14.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.82.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 48 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 48). 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: 17 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 6.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.29 per match at 14.7, economy 2.82, strike rate 31.4.
