Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.14 catches per match over 139 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 9 hundred(s), best of 161.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 14 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 77 × 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
- ×0.37 for the level played (1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 22 · 3rd grade 15 · Club 97 · 4th grade 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: 20 catches + 14 run outs (14 direct, 0 assisted) in 139 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- 4,875 runs in 147 innings, adjusted average 37.5, strike rate 64.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 25.2 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 139 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
