Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.9 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (State competition 17 · Rep Div 1 8 · 2nd grade 41 · Club 5). 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 + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.91 per match at 17.8, economy 4.36, strike rate 24.5.
