Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.9 over 118 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.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (National competition 34 · 1st grade 62 · Rep Div 1 19 · 2nd grade 9 · Club 16). 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: 24 catches + 12 run outs (12 direct, 0 assisted) in 140 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 118 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 116 wickets in 130 matches bowled in (of 140 played) — 0.89 per match at 21.8, economy 3.82, strike rate 34.3.
