Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.1 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% 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 not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 2 · 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: 6 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 40.2 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.26 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
