Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 47.8 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 108 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.3.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 156.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 59 × 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
×0.52 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 50 · 3rd grade 40 · Club 1 · 4th grade 14). 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: 19 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 108 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
3,046 runs in 113 innings, adjusted average 30.3, strike rate 47.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 9.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 108 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
