Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.3 over 102 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.36 is excellent but a wicket every 51 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.22 dismissals per match across 115 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.36.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 15 · Club 49 · 4th grade 25 · 5th grade and below 22). 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: 24 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 115 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 102 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
101 wickets in 105 matches bowled in (of 115 played) — 0.96 per match at 28.5, economy 3.36, strike rate 51.0.
