Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.7 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 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
- ×0.42 for the level played (2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 31 · Club 2 · 4th grade 1). 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: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.22 per match at 31.3, economy 4.34, strike rate 43.2.
