Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.9 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 18% 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 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
- ✓ Safe hands — 63 catches in 92 matches (0.68 per match), a genuine selection asset.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (1st grade 15 · Rep Div 1 20 · Club 57). 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
- Keeping: 49 catches + 8 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.64 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,651 runs in 88 innings, adjusted average 22.8, strike rate 54.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 92 played) — 0.16 per match at 28.1, economy 3.80, strike rate 44.4.
