Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.4 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.32 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Safe hands — 87 catches in 66 matches (1.32 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting 55 × 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
- ×0.57 for the level played (1st grade 24 · 2nd grade 29 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 5 · 4th grade 3). 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
- Keeping: 81 catches + 6 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 1.33 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,281 runs in 63 innings, adjusted average 23.9, strike rate 54.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 3.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
