Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 45.1 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumBowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.34 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 200.
✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.95 for the level played (National competition 35 · 1st grade 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 51 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.26 per match.
Batting
1,251 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 22.8, strike rate 45.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
124 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 2.07 per match at 25.7, economy 3.34, strike rate 46.2.
