Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.8 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 (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.10.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (National competition 18 · State competition 14 · Rep Div 1 36 · 2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 23 · 4th 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
- Outfield: 28 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 123 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 98 innings at 20.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 125 wickets in 92 matches bowled in (of 123 played) — 1.36 per match at 16.5, economy 3.10, strike rate 31.9.
