Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.16 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.16.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 88 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 3). 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: 25 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
1,933 runs in 97 innings, adjusted average 21.6, strike rate 69.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
110 wickets in 87 matches bowled in (of 92 played) — 1.26 per match at 23.5, economy 3.16, strike rate 44.6.
