Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.9 over 69 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 143 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.61.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 13 · 1st grade 18 · Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 75 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 27). 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: 25 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 143 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 69 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 135 wickets in 133 matches bowled in (of 143 played) — 1.02 per match at 15.6, economy 3.61, strike rate 25.9.
