Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
Too many aerial dismissals
120 of 169 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
mediumBatting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (25 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
infoFielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.50 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 151.
✓ Safe hands — 90 catches in 180 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 46 × 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
×0.44 for the level played (National competition 14 · 1st grade 29 · Rep Div 1 9 · 2nd grade 46 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 76). 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: 54 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 180 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
4,134 runs in 178 innings, adjusted average 24.4, strike rate 55.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 6.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 180 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
