Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 59.3 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 15% of 50+ scores become hundreds (23 fifties, 4 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.93 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.1.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 108.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.76 for the level played (National competition 2 · 1st grade 84 · 2nd grade 7 · Club 4). 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: 30 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 97 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
3,047 runs in 102 innings, adjusted average 33.1, strike rate 59.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
88 wickets in 79 matches bowled in (of 97 played) — 1.11 per match at 29.3, economy 3.93, strike rate 44.7.
