Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
36 of 50 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 82 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.71.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (State competition 7 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 69). 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: 15 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 1,094 runs in 69 innings, adjusted average 20.2, strike rate 62.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 115 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 1.58 per match at 23.7, economy 3.71, strike rate 38.2.
