Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 47.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 42 × 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
- ×0.46 for the level played (State competition 2 · Rep Div 1 13 · Club 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 788 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 18.8, strike rate 47.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 60.7 overs across 27 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.52 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
