Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.0 over 67 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 21% 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
0.23 dismissals per match across 103 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.94.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 21 · Club 55 · 4th grade 16 · 5th grade and below 5). 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: 22 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 103 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 10.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 157 wickets in 95 matches bowled in (of 103 played) — 1.65 per match at 16.4, economy 2.94, strike rate 33.4.
