Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.8 over 69 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.94 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 90 catches in 96 matches (0.94 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 19 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 85 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (National competition 6 · Rep Div 1 8 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 42 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 86 catches + 19 stumpings + 13 run outs (0 direct, 13 assisted) in 96 matches — 1.23 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 69 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 4.8 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 96 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
