Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 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
×0.45 for the level played (State competition 13 · Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 53 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 37 catches + 13 run outs (2 direct, 11 assisted) in 149 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 142 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 40 wickets from 164.0 overs across 57 matches bowled in (of 149 played) — 0.27 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
