Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 98 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 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
- ×0.72 for the level played (National competition 6 · 1st grade 52 · Rep Div 1 16 · 2nd grade 16 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 24 · 4th grade 1). 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: 26 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 119 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 98 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 102 wickets in 109 matches bowled in (of 119 played) — 0.94 per match at 31.9, economy 4.91, strike rate 39.0.
