Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.3.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 9 hundred(s), best of 135.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 68 catches in 177 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 68 × 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
×0.55 for the level played (National competition 12 · 1st grade 65 · Rep Div 1 21 · 2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 20 · Club 47 · 4th grade 2). 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: 56 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 177 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
5,794 runs in 188 innings, adjusted average 34.3, strike rate 63.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 14 wickets from 89.8 overs across 27 matches bowled in (of 177 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
