Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 62.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.62 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.3.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 18 hundred(s), best of 184.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.62.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 347 catches in 377 matches (0.92 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 27 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 76 × 30% · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.81 for the level played (National competition 8 · 1st grade 322 · 2nd grade 36 · Club 11). 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: 166 catches + 12 run outs (12 direct, 0 assisted) in 377 matches — 0.47 per match.
