Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.6.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 241.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 69 × 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
×0.48 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 20 · 3rd grade 48 · 4th grade 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: 23 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
2,156 runs in 69 innings, adjusted average 37.6, strike rate 50.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 2 wickets from 23.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
