Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 9 hundred(s), best of 154.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 68 × 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
×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 131 · 2nd grade 20 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 32 · 4th grade 5). 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: 63 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 196 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
5,648 runs in 212 innings, adjusted average 29.2, strike rate 51.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 10 wickets from 49.5 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 196 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
