Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.8 over 124 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Bowling
Conceding too many extras
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.21 dismissals per match across 158 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 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
- ×0.79 for the level played (National competition 38 · State competition 3 · 1st grade 101 · Rep Div 1 3 · 2nd grade 13). 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: 25 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 158 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 124 innings at 6.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 111 wickets in 119 matches bowled in (of 158 played) — 0.93 per match at 18.4, economy 4.54, strike rate 24.3.
