Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.0 over 61 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.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.12 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 67 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (1st grade 14 · Rep Div 1 31 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 19 · 4th grade 1). 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: 26 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 61 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.82 per match at 22.1, economy 3.12, strike rate 42.5.
