Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.6 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 45 × 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
- ×0.66 for the level played (1st grade 37 · Rep Div 1 18 · 2nd grade 62 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 5 · 4th grade 3). 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: 34 catches + 10 run outs (10 direct, 0 assisted) in 135 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 2,739 runs in 144 innings, adjusted average 21.9, strike rate 46.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 24 wickets from 138.5 overs across 38 matches bowled in (of 135 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
