Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 42.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 9 hundred(s), best of 162.
- ✓ Safe hands — 55 catches in 133 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 61 × 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
- ×0.43 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 81 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 43). 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: 55 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 133 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 4,403 runs in 140 innings, adjusted average 33.7, strike rate 42.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 133 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
