Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.1 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 122.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.54.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (State competition 2 · Rep Div 1 5 · Club 128). 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: 36 catches + 10 run outs (10 direct, 0 assisted) in 135 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- 2,327 runs in 117 innings, adjusted average 23.0, strike rate 58.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 135 played) — 0.24 per match at 21.0, economy 3.54, strike rate 35.6.
