Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.9 over 108 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% 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 3.31 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.31.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.92 for the level played (National competition 67 · 1st grade 58 · Club 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: 29 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 126 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 108 innings at 13.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 191 wickets in 111 matches bowled in (of 126 played) — 1.72 per match at 24.6, economy 3.31, strike rate 44.5.
