Critical recommendations

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 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.91.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.56 for the level played (State competition 12 · 1st grade 49 · 2nd grade 9 · Club 53). 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: 34 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 123 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 121 innings at 16.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
231 wickets in 115 matches bowled in (of 123 played) — 2.01 per match at 18.3, economy 2.91, strike rate 37.8.
