Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.1 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.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.36.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.45 for the level played (1st grade 6 · Rep Div 1 38 · 2nd grade 35 · 3rd grade 54 · Club 36 · 4th grade 30 · 5th grade and below 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: 54 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 200 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 148 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
253 wickets in 181 matches bowled in (of 200 played) — 1.40 per match at 19.7, economy 3.36, strike rate 35.2.
