Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.8 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 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (37 fifties, 6 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 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 32.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 6 hundred(s), best of 148.
- ✓ Safe hands — 92 catches in 212 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (State competition 3 · 1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 23 · 2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 174). 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: 90 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 212 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 6,065 runs in 216 innings, adjusted average 32.2, strike rate 60.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 85 wickets in 72 matches bowled in (of 212 played) — 0.40 per match at 18.3, economy 4.36, strike rate 25.2.
