Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 4.1 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

13 of 18 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 Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 26% 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

0.20 dismissals per match across 84 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.78 for the level played (1st grade 43 · Rep Div 1 4 · 2nd grade 35 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 1). 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: 17 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 84 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 39 innings at 4.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
118 wickets in 83 matches bowled in (of 84 played) — 1.42 per match at 22.8, economy 3.43, strike rate 39.9.
