Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.4 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 Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (23 fifties, 3 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.26 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 142.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 91 catches in 254 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.54 for the level played (2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 16 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 90 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 254 matches — 0.37 per match.
Batting
4,957 runs in 244 innings, adjusted average 24.9, strike rate 51.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
167 wickets in 157 matches bowled in (of 254 played) — 1.06 per match at 26.5, economy 3.26, strike rate 48.8.
