Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
2 of 3 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.55 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.65.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 11 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.74 for the level played (State competition 2 · 1st grade 5 · Club 4). 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: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 18.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 0.89 per match at 15.9, economy 2.65, strike rate 36.0.
