Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.6 over 68 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

22 of 38 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% 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 16 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 19 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.44 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 29 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 47 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 16 catches + 16 run outs (8 direct, 8 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.35 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 68 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
47 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 0.82 per match at 13.8, economy 4.81, strike rate 17.2.
