Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.0 over 76 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 21% 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 16.8.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 14 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (State competition 1 · Rep Div 1 21 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 54 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 14 run outs (9 direct, 5 assisted) in 128 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 76 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 128 wickets in 123 matches bowled in (of 128 played) — 1.04 per match at 16.8, economy 3.86, strike rate 26.1.
