Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.0 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.30 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.30.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.57 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 23 · 3rd grade 24 · 4th grade 4). 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: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 20 innings at 6.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
73 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.35 per match at 24.9, economy 3.30, strike rate 45.2.
