Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 91 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 158 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.48.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (National competition 4 · State competition 8 · Rep Div 1 39 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 6 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 86 · 5th grade and below 8). 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: 33 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 158 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 91 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 228 wickets in 144 matches bowled in (of 158 played) — 1.58 per match at 11.1, economy 2.48, strike rate 26.9.
