Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumBatting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
mediumBowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.42 is excellent but a wicket every 40 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 112.
✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.42.
✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. 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 (State competition 5 · 1st grade 92 · Rep Div 1 26 · 2nd grade 25 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 43 · 4th grade 2). 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: 43 catches + 12 run outs (12 direct, 0 assisted) in 194 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
2,736 runs in 161 innings, adjusted average 19.2, strike rate 49.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
247 wickets in 186 matches bowled in (of 194 played) — 1.33 per match at 22.9, economy 3.42, strike rate 40.2.
