Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.3 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 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (26 fifties, 3 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.18 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 113.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.67 for the level played (1st grade 117 · Rep Div 1 10 · 2nd grade 81 · 3rd grade 34 · Club 2 · 4th grade 3). 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: 80 catches + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 247 matches — 0.37 per match.
Batting
4,858 runs in 237 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 50.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
66 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 247 played) — 0.27 per match at 24.6, economy 3.18, strike rate 46.2.
