Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 49.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.98 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 142.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 118 catches in 120 matches (0.98 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 14 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 65 × 40% · Batting 64 × 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
×0.57 for the level played (1st grade 11 · Rep Div 1 27 · 2nd grade 24 · 3rd grade 27 · Club 13 · 4th grade 18). 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
Keeping: 82 catches + 14 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 120 matches — 0.82 dismissals per match.
Batting
2,090 runs in 112 innings, adjusted average 23.0, strike rate 49.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 3 wickets from 49.0 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 120 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
