Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 61.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 41.0.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 30 hundred(s), best of 213.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 149 catches in 327 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 14 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 79 × 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
×0.93 for the level played (National competition 155 · 1st grade 168 · Club 4). 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: 149 catches + 14 run outs (14 direct, 0 assisted) in 327 matches — 0.50 per match.
Batting
13,262 runs in 362 innings, adjusted average 41.0, strike rate 61.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 3 wickets from 11.7 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 327 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
