Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 55.8 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 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.43 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 147.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.2.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 92 catches in 215 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 28 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.55 for the level played (State competition 1 · Rep Div 1 20 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 17 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 53 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 92 catches + 28 run outs (18 direct, 10 assisted) in 215 matches — 0.56 per match.
Batting
3,191 runs in 193 innings, adjusted average 21.9, strike rate 55.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
242 wickets in 183 matches bowled in (of 215 played) — 1.32 per match at 14.2, economy 3.55, strike rate 24.0.
