Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.8 over 56 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
26 of 37 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.10.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 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
- ×0.27 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 22 · 4th grade 14 · 5th grade and below 30). 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: 18 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 56 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 79 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 1.32 per match at 18.3, economy 3.10, strike rate 35.4.
