Critical recommendations
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
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.89 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.68 for the level played (National competition 5 · State competition 7 · 1st grade 59 · Rep Div 1 26 · 2nd grade 41 · 3rd grade 2 · 4th grade 7). 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: 50 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 147 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 108 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 219 wickets in 131 matches bowled in (of 147 played) — 1.67 per match at 26.3, economy 3.89, strike rate 40.5.
