Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 6% of 50+ scores become hundreds (15 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 118.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.82 for the level played (National competition 29 · State competition 6 · 1st grade 50 · Rep Div 1 36 · 2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 18 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 49 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 168 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
2,764 runs in 132 innings, adjusted average 26.3, strike rate 55.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
203 wickets in 145 matches bowled in (of 168 played) — 1.40 per match at 20.9, economy 4.02, strike rate 31.2.
