Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.9 over 97 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% 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

0.23 dismissals per match across 166 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 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.39 for the level played (State competition 4 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 29 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 32 catches + 7 run outs (6 direct, 1 assisted) in 166 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 97 innings at 6.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
161 wickets in 146 matches bowled in (of 166 played) — 1.10 per match at 24.9, economy 4.04, strike rate 37.0.
