Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.6 over 121 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.77 for the level played (National competition 7 · 1st grade 85 · Rep Div 1 13 · 2nd grade 18 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 14). 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: 40 catches + 13 run outs (13 direct, 0 assisted) in 140 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 121 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 173 wickets in 124 matches bowled in (of 140 played) — 1.40 per match at 21.2, economy 3.80, strike rate 33.5.
