Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.7 over 68 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
43 of 61 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% 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 17.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.77.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 84 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 23 · Rep Div 2 3 · Club 57 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 31 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 84 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 68 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 59 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 84 played) — 0.81 per match at 17.6, economy 2.77, strike rate 38.0.
