Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% 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 14.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 4 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 66 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 1.14 per match at 14.1, economy 3.59, strike rate 23.6.
