Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.4 over 75 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.71 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.19 dismissals per match across 120 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.71.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 120 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 75 innings at 8.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 110 wickets in 113 matches bowled in (of 120 played) — 0.97 per match at 29.7, economy 3.71, strike rate 48.0.
