Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.9 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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 62 × 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
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 33 · 2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 26 · Club 3 · 4th grade 19). 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: 23 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 1,820 runs in 86 innings, adjusted average 23.1, strike rate 53.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 22 wickets from 88.3 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 0.24 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
