Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 9 hundred(s), best of 188.
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 71 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · 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
- ×0.95 for the level played (National competition 26 · 1st grade 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 3,306 runs in 95 innings, adjusted average 37.0, strike rate 58.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 5.2 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
