Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
14 of 28 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 35.7 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 110.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (State competition 4 · Club 54). 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: 19 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 1,269 runs in 52 innings, adjusted average 35.7, strike rate 46.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 25.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
