Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
10 of 17 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 10 · 4th grade 49 · 5th grade and below 6). 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: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 111 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 1.82 per match at 16.1, economy 3.29, strike rate 29.3.
