Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.1 over 76 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% 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 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (National competition 12 · 1st grade 9 · 2nd grade 21 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 58 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 148 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 76 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 155 wickets in 132 matches bowled in (of 148 played) — 1.17 per match at 21.3, economy 4.74, strike rate 27.0.
