Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.8 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.21 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.21.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 42 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.71 for the level played (State competition 10 · 1st grade 9 · Rep Div 1 11 · Club 12). 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 8.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.83 per match at 21.6, economy 3.21, strike rate 40.4.
