Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 68 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% 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 3.61.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 18 · 2nd grade 23 · 3rd grade 37 · Club 2). 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: 24 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 68 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 76 wickets in 67 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 1.13 per match at 22.6, economy 3.61, strike rate 37.6.
