Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (27 fifties, 4 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.21 dismissals per match across 177 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 173.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 72 × 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
- ×0.84 for the level played (1st grade 31 · 2nd grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 33 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 177 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- 4,404 runs in 158 innings, adjusted average 32.8, strike rate 58.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 23 wickets from 224.5 overs across 34 matches bowled in (of 177 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
