Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.7 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 127 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 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
- ×0.55 for the level played (1st grade 14 · 2nd grade 13 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 47 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 127 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 2,367 runs in 127 innings, adjusted average 21.1, strike rate 60.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 100.2 overs across 32 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
