Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.3 over 89 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Bowling
Conceding too many extras
1.1 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (National competition 8 · State competition 8 · 1st grade 54 · Rep Div 1 12 · 2nd grade 7 · Club 21). 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: 23 catches + 6 run outs (4 direct, 2 assisted) in 110 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 89 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 110 played) — 0.63 per match at 27.8, economy 5.37, strike rate 31.0.
