Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.4 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 77 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (State competition 8 · 1st grade 17 · Rep Div 1 20 · Club 26 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 2). 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: 27 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 16.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 82 wickets in 77 matches — 1.06 per match at 22.3, economy 3.44, strike rate 38.9.
