Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (14 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 74 · 2nd grade 20 · 3rd grade 15 · Club 5). 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: 29 catches + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 116 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 117 innings at 22.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 66 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 116 played) — 1.06 per match at 24.5, economy 4.08, strike rate 36.0.
