Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.8 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
- ✓ Safe hands — 55 catches in 117 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 18 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 75 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (State competition 1 · Rep Div 1 32 · 2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 5 · 4th grade 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 50 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 51 catches + 18 run outs (7 direct, 11 assisted) in 117 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 102 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 110 wickets in 97 matches bowled in (of 117 played) — 1.13 per match at 13.7, economy 3.06, strike rate 26.9.
