Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.9 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.98.
- ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 89 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (State competition 9 · Rep Div 1 11 · Club 69). 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: 32 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 61 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 86 wickets in 83 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 1.04 per match at 15.8, economy 2.98, strike rate 31.7.
