Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.9 over 74 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
32 of 55 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 30% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
- ✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 101 matches (0.38 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 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 71 · 4th grade 3 · 5th grade and below 27). 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: 38 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 101 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 74 innings at 6.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 149 wickets in 96 matches bowled in (of 101 played) — 1.55 per match at 20.4, economy 3.33, strike rate 36.8.
