Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.36 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.47 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 31.3.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 45 catches in 95 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 10 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.86 for the level played (National competition 6 · 1st grade 89). 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
Keeping: 24 catches + 10 stumpings + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 95 matches — 0.39 dismissals per match.
Batting
1,994 runs in 79 innings, adjusted average 31.3, strike rate 56.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 3 wickets from 4.8 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 95 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
