Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.3 over 265 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

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.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.37 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.37.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 144 catches in 394 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 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
×1.00 for the level played (National competition 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 20 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 143 catches + 10 run outs (8 direct, 2 assisted) in 394 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 265 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
791 wickets in 355 matches bowled in (of 394 played) — 2.23 per match at 23.0, economy 3.37, strike rate 41.0.
