Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 95 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.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 196 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 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
- ×0.76 for the level played (1st grade 151 · 2nd grade 22 · 3rd grade 14 · Club 7 · 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: 39 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 196 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 95 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 276 wickets in 191 matches bowled in (of 196 played) — 1.45 per match at 22.9, economy 3.60, strike rate 38.3.
