Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 52.7 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 15% 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 (11 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.23 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 79 catches in 220 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.86 for the level played (National competition 48 · 1st grade 169 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 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: 78 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 220 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 143 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
333 wickets in 193 matches bowled in (of 220 played) — 1.73 per match at 28.2, economy 3.23, strike rate 52.4.
