Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.9 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info General
Bowling currently the stronger suit

Bowling average (24.1) beats batting average (22.9) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 143.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.83 for the level played (National competition 18 · State competition 2 · 1st grade 104 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 35 · Club 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
Outfield: 44 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 161 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
3,380 runs in 157 innings, adjusted average 22.9, strike rate 64.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
200 wickets in 141 matches bowled in (of 161 played) — 1.42 per match at 24.1, economy 3.65, strike rate 39.6.
