Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.9 over 173 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 16% 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 (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.04 is excellent but a wicket every 58 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.04.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 76 catches in 206 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 26 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.97 for the level played (National competition 159 · 1st grade 47). 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: 76 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 206 matches — 0.38 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 173 innings at 13.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
404 wickets in 188 matches bowled in (of 206 played) — 2.15 per match at 29.3, economy 3.04, strike rate 57.8.
