Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 52.2 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
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.82.
- ✓ Safe hands — 70 catches in 122 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 53 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 48 · 4th grade 16 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 68 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 122 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 85 innings at 19.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 188 wickets in 104 matches bowled in (of 122 played) — 1.81 per match at 16.9, economy 2.82, strike rate 35.9.
