Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 34.4 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 15% 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 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (National competition 1 · 1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 18 · 2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 49 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 65 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 1.03 per match at 25.0, economy 4.08, strike rate 36.9.
