Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.6 over 69 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.19 dismissals per match across 102 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.52.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (State competition 3 · 1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 11 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 12 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 102 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 69 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 101 wickets in 96 matches bowled in (of 102 played) — 1.05 per match at 20.8, economy 3.52, strike rate 35.6.
