  • ● Regional representative — 8 matches (+1.2)
  • ● Body of work — 147 imported matches (+2.9)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 36.0.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 165.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 66 × 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
×0.37 for the level played (State competition 5 · 1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 11 · 2nd grade 13 · Club 116). 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: 35 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 147 matches — 0.26 per match.
Batting
4,146 runs in 134 innings, adjusted average 36.0, strike rate 51.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 34 wickets from 158.5 overs across 33 matches bowled in (of 147 played) — 0.23 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
