Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.9 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 16% 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 72 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · 2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 25 · Club 38 · 4th grade 1). 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: 25 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 69 innings at 21.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 19 wickets from 71.8 overs across 18 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.26 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
