Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 52.4 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 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.22.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 95 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · 3rd grade 22 · Club 18 · 4th grade 18 · 5th grade and below 36). 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: 40 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 95 matches — 0.43 per match.
Batting
2,185 runs in 98 innings, adjusted average 24.1, strike rate 52.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
43 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 95 played) — 0.45 per match at 17.2, economy 3.22, strike rate 32.0.
