Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 47.9 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 11% 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 149 catches in 158 matches (0.94 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 15 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
×0.56 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 10 · 2nd grade 83 · 3rd grade 31 · Club 18 · 4th grade 12 · 5th grade and below 2). 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: 126 catches + 15 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 158 matches — 0.90 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 157 innings at 20.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 5 wickets from 8.5 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 158 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
