Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 145.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 15 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 80 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (State competition 2 · Rep Div 1 36 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 17 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 58 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 43 catches + 15 run outs (6 direct, 9 assisted) in 152 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 2,804 runs in 131 innings, adjusted average 25.2, strike rate 81.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 101 wickets in 106 matches bowled in (of 152 played) — 0.95 per match at 19.4, economy 3.83, strike rate 30.5.
