Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.8 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 22% 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 18 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (1st grade 9 · Rep Div 1 8 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 37 · 4th grade 7 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 17 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.60 per match at 28.3, economy 5.04, strike rate 33.7.
