Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 86 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.05.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 (1st grade 18 · Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 26 · 3rd grade 19 · Club 22). 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: 22 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 86 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 97 wickets in 64 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 1.52 per match at 19.2, economy 3.05, strike rate 37.7.
