Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.4 over 59 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% 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 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 45 · 3rd grade 18 · Club 4 · 4th grade 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: 21 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 95 wickets in 65 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 1.46 per match at 27.3, economy 4.04, strike rate 40.5.
