Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% 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 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (15 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.83 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 120.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 39 × 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 28 · Rep Div 1 3 · 2nd grade 57 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 92 · 4th grade 1). 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: 44 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 186 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
3,549 runs in 172 innings, adjusted average 24.8, strike rate 71.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
100 wickets in 107 matches bowled in (of 186 played) — 0.93 per match at 29.8, economy 3.83, strike rate 46.7.
