Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.5 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
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 36.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 9 hundred(s), best of 197.
- ✓ Safe hands — 63 catches in 135 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 81 × 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
- ×0.74 for the level played (1st grade 119 · 2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 6 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 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: 63 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 135 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 4,872 runs in 147 innings, adjusted average 36.8, strike rate 62.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 21.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 135 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
