Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.7 over 121 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

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.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.91 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.81 for the level played (National competition 62 · State competition 3 · 1st grade 80 · Rep Div 1 13 · 2nd grade 30 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 14 · 4th grade 3). 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: 64 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 211 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 121 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
242 wickets in 194 matches bowled in (of 211 played) — 1.25 per match at 26.8, economy 3.91, strike rate 41.1.
