Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.4 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 10% 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 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (24 fifties, 4 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 119.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 127 catches in 340 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. 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 (1st grade 41 · Rep Div 1 49 · 2nd grade 128 · 3rd grade 42 · Club 63 · 4th grade 12 · 5th grade and below 5). 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: 126 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 340 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
5,625 runs in 307 innings, adjusted average 22.6, strike rate 57.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
308 wickets in 279 matches bowled in (of 340 played) — 1.10 per match at 19.9, economy 3.06, strike rate 39.0.
