Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
55 of 78 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (15 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 132.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 15 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (State competition 8 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 42 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 15 run outs (5 direct, 10 assisted) in 116 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- 2,508 runs in 105 innings, adjusted average 30.0, strike rate 56.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 116 played) — 0.87 per match at 21.4, economy 4.23, strike rate 30.3.
