Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 53.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 4% of 50+ scores become hundreds (24 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

1.05 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 194 catches in 185 matches (1.05 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 67 × 40% · Batting 53 × 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
×0.75 for the level played (State competition 20 · 1st grade 122 · 2nd grade 41 · Rep Div 2 1 · Club 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: 107 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 185 matches — 0.62 per match.
Batting
3,803 runs in 174 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 53.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 3 wickets from 22.5 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 185 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
