Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.8 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.66.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 23 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (Rep Div 1 21 · 4th grade 2). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 6.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.10 per match at 16.0, economy 2.66, strike rate 36.1.
