Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 72 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.75.
- ✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 98 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.24 for the level played (3rd grade 4 · Club 13 · 4th grade 40 · 5th grade and below 41). 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: 38 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 72 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 106 wickets in 75 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 1.41 per match at 14.8, economy 2.75, strike rate 32.3.
