Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.2 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 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 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 100.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.45.
- ✓ Safe hands — 49 catches in 117 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 30%. 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 (State competition 9 · Rep Div 1 51 · Rep Div 2 7 · Club 49 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 46 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 117 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 1,479 runs in 94 innings, adjusted average 20.6, strike rate 46.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 116 wickets in 96 matches bowled in (of 117 played) — 1.21 per match at 11.7, economy 2.45, strike rate 28.6.
