Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.0 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.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 144 catches in 103 matches (1.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 12 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 87 × 40% · Batting 38 × 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
- ×0.78 for the level played (National competition 1 · 1st grade 86 · Rep Div 1 4 · 2nd grade 9 · Club 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: 132 catches + 12 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 103 matches — 1.42 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,969 runs in 108 innings, adjusted average 21.1, strike rate 51.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 38.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 103 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
