Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.1 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

14 of 25 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

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 3.35 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 61 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 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
×0.86 for the level played (National competition 2 · State competition 2 · 1st grade 57). 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 + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.43 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 38 innings at 11.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
122 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 2.07 per match at 23.5, economy 3.35, strike rate 42.1.
