Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.1 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 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.24 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.24.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 74 catches in 200 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.40 for the level played (State competition 8 · Rep Div 1 45 · 3rd grade 4 · Rep Div 2 9 · Club 100 · 4th grade 13 · 5th grade and below 21). 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: 70 catches + 12 run outs (12 direct, 0 assisted) in 200 matches — 0.41 per match.
Batting
2,545 runs in 158 innings, adjusted average 20.9, strike rate 57.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
165 wickets in 178 matches bowled in (of 200 played) — 0.93 per match at 22.5, economy 3.24, strike rate 41.6.
