Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.8 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 6 hundred(s), best of 160.
- ✓ Safe hands — 60 catches in 153 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 66 × 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (National competition 21 · 1st grade 15 · Rep Div 1 20 · 2nd grade 67 · 3rd grade 9 · Rep Div 2 4 · Club 17). 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: 40 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 153 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 3,765 runs in 146 innings, adjusted average 28.8, strike rate 55.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 20.3 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 153 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
