Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.9 over 80 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
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 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
- ×0.53 for the level played (State competition 9 · Rep Div 1 41 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 52). 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: 29 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 110 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 81 matches bowled in (of 110 played) — 0.95 per match at 22.2, economy 4.43, strike rate 30.1.
