Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.9 over 63 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% 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 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (State competition 5 · Rep Div 1 14 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 52 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 63 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 0.74 per match at 23.9, economy 4.69, strike rate 30.6.
