Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.7 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.18 dismissals per match across 56 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 141.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 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
×0.59 for the level played (1st grade 15 · 2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 14). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
996 runs in 58 innings, adjusted average 19.0, strike rate 64.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 9 wickets from 43.2 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.16 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
