Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 116.
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 77 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 68 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (State competition 9 · Rep Div 1 31 · Club 9 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 51 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 33 catches + 11 run outs (7 direct, 4 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 1,713 runs in 74 innings, adjusted average 28.5, strike rate 56.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 0.79 per match at 13.3, economy 3.30, strike rate 24.2.
