Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.1 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

15 of 30 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.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

1.3 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.83 for the level played (National competition 39 · 1st grade 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 57 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 31 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 109 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 45 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
56 wickets in 63 matches bowled in (of 109 played) — 0.89 per match at 24.6, economy 5.46, strike rate 27.0.
