Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.5 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 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (14 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
- ✓ Safe hands — 65 catches in 143 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 48 × 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
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 115 · 4th grade 12). 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: 53 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 143 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 2,598 runs in 133 innings, adjusted average 21.4, strike rate 64.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 54.2 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 143 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
