Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.8 over 80 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.10 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.10.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.76 for the level played (1st grade 90 · 2nd grade 20 · Club 8). 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: 35 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 118 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 186 wickets in 117 matches bowled in (of 118 played) — 1.59 per match at 22.1, economy 3.10, strike rate 42.7.
