Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.3 over 109 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 14% 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 3.42 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.42.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.69 for the level played (1st grade 36 · 2nd grade 101 · 3rd grade 13 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 6). 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 + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 160 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 109 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
214 wickets in 155 matches bowled in (of 160 played) — 1.38 per match at 25.9, economy 3.42, strike rate 45.5.
