Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.9 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 14% 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 131.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
- ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 105 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (State competition 12 · 1st grade 55 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 37). 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: 40 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 105 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,040 runs in 79 innings, adjusted average 16.5, strike rate 50.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 149 wickets in 98 matches bowled in (of 105 played) — 1.52 per match at 21.5, economy 3.25, strike rate 39.7.
