Critical recommendations
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 46 catches in 127 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 16 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.79 for the level played (National competition 26 · State competition 2 · 1st grade 36 · Rep Div 1 4 · 2nd grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 69 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 45 catches + 16 run outs (10 direct, 6 assisted) in 127 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 97 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 135 wickets in 117 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 1.15 per match at 17.2, economy 4.15, strike rate 24.9.
