Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.9.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 204.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · 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
- ×0.56 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 59 · 3rd grade 24 · 4th grade 4). 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: 29 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 94 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 2,677 runs in 96 innings, adjusted average 32.0, strike rate 47.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 40.7 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 94 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
