Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.2 over 62 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
17 of 34 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.
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 12.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.57.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (National competition 16 · State competition 5 · 1st grade 6 · Rep Div 1 9 · 2nd grade 22 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 64 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 11 run outs (3 direct, 8 assisted) in 117 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 62 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 108 wickets in 105 matches bowled in (of 117 played) — 1.03 per match at 12.6, economy 3.57, strike rate 21.2.
