Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.90 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 45 catches in 50 matches (0.90 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 12 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 88 × 40% · Batting 53 × 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
- ×0.57 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 17 · 2nd grade 14 · 3rd grade 18). 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
- Keeping: 39 catches + 12 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 1.04 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 882 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 22.7, strike rate 56.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
