Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.0 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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
- ×0.59 for the level played (Rep Div 1 28 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 13 · 4th grade 1). 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: 10 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 11.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.88 per match at 20.8, economy 4.03, strike rate 30.9.
