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 12% 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 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.45 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 113.
- ✓ Safe hands — 57 catches in 154 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 27 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (State competition 1 · Rep Div 1 24 · 2nd grade 29 · 3rd grade 34 · Club 36 · 4th grade 26 · 5th grade and below 4). 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: 54 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 154 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 2,902 runs in 153 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 47.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 73 wickets in 103 matches bowled in (of 154 played) — 0.71 per match at 29.0, economy 3.45, strike rate 50.5.
