Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.1 over 103 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% 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 3.65.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (National competition 2 · 1st grade 29 · Rep Div 1 41 · 2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 40). 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 + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 131 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 103 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 117 wickets in 121 matches bowled in (of 131 played) — 0.97 per match at 20.8, economy 3.65, strike rate 34.2.
