Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.5 over 68 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
35 of 50 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.16.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 97). 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: 26 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 99 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 68 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 144 wickets in 81 matches bowled in (of 99 played) — 1.78 per match at 14.4, economy 3.16, strike rate 27.4.
