Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.50 for the level played (1st grade 5 · Rep Div 1 14 · Club 17). 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: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 21.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 13.7 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
