Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.9 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
General
Bowling currently the stronger suit
Bowling average (21.0) beats batting average (17.9) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 176.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 119 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 1,662 runs in 107 innings, adjusted average 17.9, strike rate 63.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 89 wickets in 90 matches bowled in (of 119 played) — 0.99 per match at 21.0, economy 3.41, strike rate 37.0.
