Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.21 dismissals per match across 136 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 18.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.64 for the level played (State competition 34 · 1st grade 24 · Rep Div 1 29 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 48). 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 + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 136 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 115 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 85 wickets in 108 matches bowled in (of 136 played) — 0.79 per match at 18.0, economy 4.49, strike rate 24.0.
