Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.2 over 161 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 88 catches in 203 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 16 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.45 for the level played (2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 88 catches + 16 run outs (4 direct, 12 assisted) in 203 matches — 0.51 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 161 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
178 wickets in 146 matches bowled in (of 203 played) — 1.22 per match at 20.2, economy 4.46, strike rate 27.2.
