Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.7 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.62 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 — 7 hundred(s), best of 202.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 114 catches in 185 matches (0.62 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 53 × 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
×0.67 for the level played (National competition 5 · 1st grade 147 · Rep Div 1 3 · 2nd grade 5 · Club 25). 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: 87 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 185 matches — 0.48 per match.
Batting
4,458 runs in 196 innings, adjusted average 25.0, strike rate 58.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 4 wickets from 8.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 185 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
