Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.0 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.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
- ✓ Safe hands — 72 catches in 151 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 68 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (State competition 8 · Rep Div 1 34 · Rep Div 2 8 · Club 101). 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 + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 151 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 3,041 runs in 141 innings, adjusted average 26.5, strike rate 57.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 76 matches bowled in (of 151 played) — 0.95 per match at 17.4, economy 3.34, strike rate 31.3.
