Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.15 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 106 catches in 207 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.81 for the level played (National competition 12 · 1st grade 121 · Rep Div 1 43 · 2nd grade 31). 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: 84 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 207 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 201 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
137 wickets in 108 matches bowled in (of 207 played) — 1.27 per match at 23.3, economy 3.15, strike rate 44.3.
