Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.5 over 100 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Bowling
Conceding too many extras
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% 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 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (State competition 1 · Rep Div 1 18 · Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 35 catches + 6 run outs (4 direct, 2 assisted) in 128 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 100 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 85 wickets in 117 matches bowled in (of 128 played) — 0.73 per match at 19.8, economy 4.03, strike rate 29.4.
