Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.5 over 53 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 63 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (1st grade 8 · Rep Div 1 33 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 18 · 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: 18 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 1.03 per match at 20.5, economy 3.99, strike rate 30.9.
