Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 62.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

69 of 94 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (15 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.45 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 112.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.50.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 47 catches in 104 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.38 for the level played (1st grade 19 · Rep Div 1 10 · Club 75). 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: 47 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 104 matches — 0.49 per match.
Batting
2,556 runs in 101 innings, adjusted average 27.1, strike rate 62.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
57 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 104 played) — 1.19 per match at 16.5, economy 3.50, strike rate 28.3.
