Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.2 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 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.80 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
- ✓ Safe hands — 65 catches in 153 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (National competition 9 · 1st grade 77 · 2nd grade 21 · Club 46). 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: 65 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 153 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 2,947 runs in 143 innings, adjusted average 23.6, strike rate 61.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 104 wickets in 99 matches bowled in (of 153 played) — 1.05 per match at 28.7, economy 3.80, strike rate 45.4.
