Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.8 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
20 of 34 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 81 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (3rd grade 9 · Club 1 · 4th grade 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 9.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 97 wickets in 77 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 1.26 per match at 20.1, economy 3.35, strike rate 36.0.
