Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.6 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.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.63 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Safe hands — 50 catches in 80 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 8 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 55 × 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
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 18 · 2nd grade 16 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 38 · 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
- Keeping: 34 catches + 8 stumpings + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.59 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,729 runs in 78 innings, adjusted average 25.0, strike rate 47.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 11.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
