Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 65.0 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
0.51 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 109.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 47 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 50 × 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 36 · 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: 24 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 1,000 runs in 44 innings, adjusted average 23.8, strike rate 65.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 19.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
