Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 44.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.96 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.46 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 153.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 43 catches in 93 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.39 for the level played (2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 40 · Club 1 · 4th grade 24 · 5th grade and below 11). 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: 43 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.49 per match.
Batting
2,230 runs in 94 innings, adjusted average 25.0, strike rate 44.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
42 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 0.74 per match at 28.2, economy 3.96, strike rate 42.8.
