Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.3 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 32% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.18 dismissals per match across 28 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.75.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 25). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.25 per match at 18.8, economy 3.75, strike rate 30.0.
