Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.8 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 8 · 2nd grade 21 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 11 · 4th grade 2). 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: 16 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.48 per match at 20.1, economy 3.55, strike rate 33.9.
