Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 49.3 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 110.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 59 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 47 × 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 15 · 2nd grade 35 · 3rd grade 9). 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: 23 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
1,209 runs in 59 innings, adjusted average 23.6, strike rate 49.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 9 wickets from 71.0 overs across 24 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.38 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
