Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.2 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.96 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.96.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.63 for the level played (National competition 6 · 1st grade 25 · 2nd grade 29 · 3rd grade 14 · Club 1 · 4th grade 1). 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: 21 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 76 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 93 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 1.27 per match at 22.1, economy 2.96, strike rate 44.8.
