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
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 111.
- ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 86 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 64 × 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
- ×0.75 for the level played (National competition 3 · 1st grade 49 · 2nd grade 34). 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: 32 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 86 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 2,146 runs in 85 innings, adjusted average 27.0, strike rate 60.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 139.0 overs across 22 matches bowled in (of 86 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
