Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.5 over 106 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 134 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.73.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.63 for the level played (National competition 17 · State competition 12 · Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 65 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 8 run outs (3 direct, 5 assisted) in 134 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 106 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 97 wickets in 112 matches bowled in (of 134 played) — 0.87 per match at 16.9, economy 3.73, strike rate 27.2.
