Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.9 over 88 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.19 dismissals per match across 131 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 39 · Rep Div 2 7 · Club 66 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 13). 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: 22 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 131 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 88 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 102 wickets in 98 matches bowled in (of 131 played) — 1.04 per match at 17.7, economy 3.27, strike rate 32.6.
