Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 95 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 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
- ×0.67 for the level played (1st grade 30 · Rep Div 1 16 · 2nd grade 26 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 15 · 4th grade 2). 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: 37 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 95 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 101 innings at 20.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 83 wickets in 76 matches bowled in (of 95 played) — 1.09 per match at 22.6, economy 4.24, strike rate 32.0.
