Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.5 over 84 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.36 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 117 catches in 86 matches (1.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 14 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 85 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 1 · Club 82). 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
- Keeping: 103 catches + 14 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 86 matches — 1.36 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 84 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 6.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 86 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
