Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 62 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
highBatting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
21 of 33 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.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumFielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.24 dismissals per match across 85 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.7.
✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 2 9 · Club 76). 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: 14 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 62 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
49 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 0.70 per match at 13.7, economy 3.34, strike rate 24.5.
