Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 127.
- ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 88 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 52 × 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
- ×0.84 for the level played (National competition 19 · 1st grade 53 · Rep Div 1 4 · 2nd grade 9 · Club 3). 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: 24 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 88 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- 1,909 runs in 88 innings, adjusted average 23.7, strike rate 46.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 1.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 88 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
