Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 125.
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 70 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · 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
- ×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 21 · 2nd grade 28 · Club 21). 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 + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 1,990 runs in 70 innings, adjusted average 33.3, strike rate 60.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 101.7 overs across 25 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 0.21 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
