Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.4 over 100 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 151 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 41 · 2nd grade 86 · 3rd grade 22 · 4th grade 2). 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: 28 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 151 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 100 innings at 6.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 208 wickets in 143 matches bowled in (of 151 played) — 1.45 per match at 26.9, economy 4.04, strike rate 39.9.
