Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.7 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 12% 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 (12 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 36 catches in 98 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (1st grade 8 · 2nd grade 36 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 52). 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: 36 catches + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 93 innings at 21.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 105 wickets in 76 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 1.38 per match at 22.2, economy 4.34, strike rate 30.7.
