Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.9 over 75 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% 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 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 17 · 2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 21 · 4th grade 30 · 5th grade and below 8). 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: 30 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 75 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 120 wickets in 82 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 1.46 per match at 24.2, economy 4.02, strike rate 36.2.
