Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.2 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (17 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 44 catches in 103 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 55 × 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
- ×0.48 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · 2nd grade 35 · 3rd grade 30 · Club 6 · 4th grade 20 · 5th grade and below 5). 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: 35 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 103 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 2,424 runs in 108 innings, adjusted average 24.5, strike rate 54.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 17 wickets from 121.7 overs across 18 matches bowled in (of 103 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
