Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 45.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.71 is excellent but a wicket every 112 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.57 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 128.
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 60 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.77 for the level played (1st grade 53 · 2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 1). 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: 34 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- 1,654 runs in 67 innings, adjusted average 26.5, strike rate 45.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.29 per match at 69.6, economy 3.71, strike rate 112.5.
