Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.1 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 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (25 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 130.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 71 catches in 205 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 45 × 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
×0.77 for the level played (1st grade 151 · 2nd grade 40 · 3rd grade 13 · Club 1). 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: 71 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 205 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
4,978 runs in 219 innings, adjusted average 24.5, strike rate 51.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 19 wickets from 235.7 overs across 48 matches bowled in (of 205 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
