Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 41.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.13 catches per match over 127 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.68 for the level played (National competition 3 · 1st grade 27 · Rep Div 1 6 · 2nd grade 76 · 3rd grade 10 · 4th grade 5). 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: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 127 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 127 innings at 18.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 118 wickets in 97 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 1.22 per match at 20.0, economy 3.20, strike rate 37.5.
