Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

44 of 59 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 127.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 64 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 39 × 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
×0.53 for the level played (2nd grade 35 · 3rd grade 21 · Club 8). 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: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
1,390 runs in 65 innings, adjusted average 23.4, strike rate 63.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 8.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
