Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.6 over 16 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.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.60.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 34 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 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
- ×0.47 for the level played (State competition 9 · 1st grade 8 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 8 · 4th grade 3 · 5th grade and below 4). 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: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.24 per match at 14.3, economy 2.60, strike rate 33.1.
