Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 3.5 over 56 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 29% 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 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 32 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 38 · 2nd grade 55 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 3 · 4th grade 1). 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: 19 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 56 innings at 3.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 126 wickets in 94 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 1.34 per match at 31.0, economy 4.01, strike rate 46.4.
