Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.1 over 107 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.56 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

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 Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.27 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

Strengths

  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 24 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 11 stumpings.
  • ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.51 for the level played (National competition 8 · State competition 4 · 1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 25 · 2nd grade 8 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 57 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 25 catches + 11 stumpings + 24 run outs (2 direct, 22 assisted) in 134 matches — 0.45 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 107 innings at 14.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
33 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 134 played) — 0.57 per match at 26.5, economy 5.56, strike rate 28.5.
