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
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.19 dismissals per match across 54 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (State competition 1 · 1st grade 12 · Rep Div 1 8 · Club 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 946 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 25.0, strike rate 73.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.78 per match at 14.5, economy 4.04, strike rate 21.5.
