Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 48.1 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.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.0.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 51 × 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
×0.50 for the level played (State competition 10 · Rep Div 1 51 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 113). 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: 48 catches + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 179 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
4,086 runs in 167 innings, adjusted average 30.0, strike rate 48.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 62 wickets from 379.7 overs across 87 matches bowled in (of 179 played) — 0.71 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
