Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 73 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.73 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.73.
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 94 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.71 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 61 · Rep Div 2 7 · Club 20 · 4th grade 2). 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: 35 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 94 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 73 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 87 wickets in 79 matches bowled in (of 94 played) — 1.10 per match at 18.2, economy 2.73, strike rate 40.1.
