Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.66.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (National competition 4 · Rep Div 1 3 · Club 86). 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: 22 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 96 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 83 wickets in 75 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 1.11 per match at 22.1, economy 3.66, strike rate 36.2.
