Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.3 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.00 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.90.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 44 catches in 44 matches (1.00 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 79 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 17 · 2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 2 · 4th grade 3). 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
- Keeping: 38 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.91 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.36 per match at 10.9, economy 2.90, strike rate 22.5.
