Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 85 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (National competition 30 · 1st grade 16 · Club 82). 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: 19 catches + 12 run outs (12 direct, 0 assisted) in 128 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 85 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 97 wickets in 120 matches bowled in (of 128 played) — 0.81 per match at 20.1, economy 4.01, strike rate 30.2.
