Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.8 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 Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.61 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.61.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 43 catches in 124 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.48 for the level played (1st grade 9 · 2nd grade 62 · 3rd grade 43 · Club 7 · 4th grade 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: 43 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 124 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
1,922 runs in 124 innings, adjusted average 17.9, strike rate 57.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
164 wickets in 119 matches bowled in (of 124 played) — 1.38 per match at 27.4, economy 3.61, strike rate 45.5.
