Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 61.5 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 10% 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 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.8.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.45.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 70 catches in 186 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.42 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 70 catches + 8 run outs (4 direct, 4 assisted) in 186 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
2,256 runs in 154 innings, adjusted average 19.0, strike rate 61.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
175 wickets in 123 matches bowled in (of 186 played) — 1.42 per match at 14.8, economy 3.45, strike rate 25.8.
