Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.75 for the level played (National competition 53 · State competition 3 · 1st grade 31 · Rep Div 1 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 97 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 79 catches + 30 run outs (7 direct, 23 assisted) in 177 matches — 0.62 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 82 innings at 21.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
225 wickets in 165 matches bowled in (of 177 played) — 1.36 per match at 13.3, economy 3.67, strike rate 21.7.
