Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
12 of 19 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
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.24 dismissals per match across 49 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.37.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 12 · Club 35). 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: 9 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.05 per match at 11.6, economy 3.37, strike rate 20.6.
