Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 55.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 5% of 50+ scores become hundreds (20 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.17 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.83 for the level played (National competition 7 · 1st grade 188 · 2nd grade 9 · Club 8). 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: 57 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 212 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
4,028 runs in 191 innings, adjusted average 26.2, strike rate 55.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
399 wickets in 201 matches bowled in (of 212 played) — 1.99 per match at 22.4, economy 3.17, strike rate 42.4.
