Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.0 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.35 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
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Safe hands — 78 catches in 152 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 48 × 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
- ×0.53 for the level played (1st grade 9 · Rep Div 1 4 · 2nd grade 40 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 98). 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: 46 catches + 7 stumpings + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 152 matches — 0.39 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,442 runs in 128 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 63.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 34 wickets from 169.8 overs across 49 matches bowled in (of 152 played) — 0.22 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
