Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.4 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 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (14 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.47 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 146.
- ✓ Safe hands — 65 catches in 137 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 58 × 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
- ×0.73 for the level played (1st grade 68 · 2nd grade 12 · Club 57). 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: 65 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 137 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 3,364 runs in 142 innings, adjusted average 26.7, strike rate 57.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 35 wickets from 261.8 overs across 52 matches bowled in (of 137 played) — 0.26 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
