Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 44.4 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.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 92). 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: 37 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 118 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 122 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 61.7 overs across 19 matches bowled in (of 118 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
