Critical recommendations
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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 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 17 · 1st grade 60 · Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 2). 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: 23 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 63 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 91 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 1.30 per match at 24.5, economy 4.01, strike rate 36.7.
