Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 53.8 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 15% 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 183 catches in 210 matches (0.87 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 29 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
×0.40 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 30 · 2nd grade 22 · 3rd grade 26 · Club 101 · 4th grade 14 · 5th grade and below 16). 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
Keeping: 156 catches + 29 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 210 matches — 0.89 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 177 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 13 wickets from 84.2 overs across 28 matches bowled in (of 210 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
