Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.1 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 14% 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (State competition 8 · Rep Div 1 12 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 30 · 4th grade 5). 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: 21 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 1,363 runs in 57 innings, adjusted average 27.3, strike rate 54.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 1.14 per match at 24.7, economy 4.16, strike rate 35.6.
