Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.1 over 196 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 21% 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

0.17 dismissals per match across 231 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 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.47 for the level played (National competition 11 · Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 45 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 37 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 231 matches — 0.17 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 196 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
159 wickets in 183 matches bowled in (of 231 played) — 0.87 per match at 22.6, economy 4.54, strike rate 29.9.
