Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.1 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 12% 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 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.56 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 103.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 70 catches in 170 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.74 for the level played (1st grade 84 · Rep Div 1 39 · 2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 20 · 4th grade 1). 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: 55 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 170 matches — 0.35 per match.
Batting
3,066 runs in 159 innings, adjusted average 22.4, strike rate 51.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
81 wickets in 99 matches bowled in (of 170 played) — 0.82 per match at 25.2, economy 3.56, strike rate 42.5.
