Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 3.2 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumFielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 84 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.78 for the level played (National competition 5 · 1st grade 32 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 44 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 18 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 84 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 40 innings at 3.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
74 wickets in 81 matches bowled in (of 84 played) — 0.91 per match at 29.3, economy 4.60, strike rate 38.2.
