Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 123 catches in 311 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.79 for the level played (National competition 15 · State competition 2 · 1st grade 239 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 46 · Club 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: 123 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 311 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 190 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
599 wickets in 304 matches bowled in (of 311 played) — 1.97 per match at 22.4, economy 3.91, strike rate 34.3.
