Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.1 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 43 catches in 113 matches (0.38 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 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.72 for the level played (National competition 12 · 1st grade 12 · Rep Div 1 4 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 42 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 113 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 83 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 113 wickets in 95 matches bowled in (of 113 played) — 1.19 per match at 22.8, economy 4.13, strike rate 33.2.
