Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 3.9 over 58 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 21% 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
0.19 dismissals per match across 124 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 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 124 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 3.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 134 wickets in 116 matches bowled in (of 124 played) — 1.16 per match at 29.5, economy 4.26, strike rate 41.5.
