Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.1 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 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 28 × 30%. 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 1 · Rep Div 1 7 · 2nd grade 28 · 3rd grade 65 · Club 6 · 4th grade 2). 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: 19 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 109 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 2,113 runs in 102 innings, adjusted average 24.8, strike rate 53.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 109 played) — 0.91 per match at 21.1, economy 3.56, strike rate 35.6.
