Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.4 over 78 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
31 of 60 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (State competition 16 · 1st grade 17 · Rep Div 1 32 · 2nd grade 3 · Club 41). 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: 22 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 109 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 78 innings at 8.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 68 wickets in 95 matches bowled in (of 109 played) — 0.72 per match at 22.0, economy 4.37, strike rate 30.2.
