Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 69 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% 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 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 (National competition 12 · 2nd grade 32 · 3rd grade 13 · Club 8 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 66 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 33 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 113 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 69 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 124 wickets in 99 matches bowled in (of 113 played) — 1.25 per match at 22.5, economy 4.01, strike rate 33.6.
