Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.5 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 12% 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.63 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.63.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 36 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (1st grade 42 · Rep Div 1 17 · 2nd grade 42 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 33 · 4th grade 1). 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 + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 142 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- 1,643 runs in 121 innings, adjusted average 18.2, strike rate 46.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 162 wickets in 135 matches bowled in (of 142 played) — 1.20 per match at 24.8, economy 3.63, strike rate 41.0.
