Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 39.5 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.83 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 97 catches in 117 matches (0.83 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 17 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 81 × 40% · Batting 45 × 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
- ×0.37 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 21 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 2 · Rep Div 2 9 · Club 53 · 4th grade 19 · 5th grade and below 11). 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
- Keeping: 86 catches + 17 stumpings + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 117 matches — 0.92 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,599 runs in 104 innings, adjusted average 20.1, strike rate 39.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 22.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 117 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
