Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.2 over 37 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.98 for the level played (National competition 59 · 1st grade 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 70 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 107 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 140 wickets in 101 matches bowled in (of 107 played) — 1.39 per match at 18.8, economy 4.37, strike rate 25.8.
