Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.66 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 — 6 hundred(s), best of 126.
- ✓ Safe hands — 104 catches in 158 matches (0.66 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 18 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 53 × 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
- ×0.32 for the level played (National competition 5 · Club 153). 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
- Keeping: 66 catches + 18 stumpings + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 158 matches — 0.60 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 3,777 runs in 151 innings, adjusted average 27.2, strike rate 64.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 10.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 158 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
