Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 154.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 43 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 25 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×1.00 for the level played (National competition 43). 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: 19 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 2,076 runs in 64 innings, adjusted average 34.0, strike rate 60.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.14 per match at 19.2, economy 2.91, strike rate 39.7.
