Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.7 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 24% 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 16.8.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.81 for the level played (National competition 18 · 1st grade 16 · Rep Div 1 13 · 2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 2 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 59 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 32 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 103 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 42 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
173 wickets in 93 matches bowled in (of 103 played) — 1.86 per match at 16.8, economy 3.35, strike rate 30.2.
