Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.6 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
0.92 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 78 catches in 85 matches (0.92 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 23 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 77 × 40% · Batting 46 × 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
- ×0.62 for the level played (National competition 8 · 1st grade 5 · Rep Div 1 28 · 2nd grade 23 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 13 · 4th grade 4). 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
- Keeping: 64 catches + 23 stumpings + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 1.09 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 971 runs in 68 innings, adjusted average 18.1, strike rate 51.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 28.0 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
