Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.2 over 71 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Bowling
Conceding too many extras
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 37 · 2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 3). 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: 15 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 71 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.75 per match at 20.1, economy 5.04, strike rate 24.0.
