Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.7 over 93 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% 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 3.64.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · 2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 35 · 4th grade 15 · 5th grade and below 33). 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: 29 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 108 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 93 innings at 14.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 81 matches bowled in (of 108 played) — 0.83 per match at 22.7, economy 3.64, strike rate 37.4.
