Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 44.0 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.67.
- ✓ Safe hands — 69 catches in 139 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 20 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 (Rep Div 1 28 · Club 111). 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 + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 139 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 126 innings at 19.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 139 played) — 0.29 per match at 16.5, economy 3.67, strike rate 27.0.
