Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% 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 (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 67 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 32 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (State competition 8 · 1st grade 19 · Rep Div 1 9 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 15 · 4th grade 7 · 5th grade and below 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: 33 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- 1,270 runs in 63 innings, adjusted average 20.8, strike rate 67.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.52 per match at 33.7, economy 5.29, strike rate 38.2.
