Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 55.6 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 11% 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 4% of 50+ scores become hundreds (21 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.43 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 101.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 74 catches in 171 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 16 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.53 for the level played (1st grade 19 · Rep Div 1 11 · 2nd grade 76 · Club 65). 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: 74 catches + 16 run outs (16 direct, 0 assisted) in 171 matches — 0.53 per match.
Batting
3,166 runs in 160 innings, adjusted average 21.8, strike rate 55.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
90 wickets in 108 matches bowled in (of 171 played) — 0.83 per match at 24.9, economy 4.16, strike rate 35.8.
