Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 3.2 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

6 of 12 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 23% 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 15.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.84 for the level played (1st grade 32 · 2nd grade 1). 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 33 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 3.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
31 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.07 per match at 15.6, economy 3.80, strike rate 24.6.
