Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 46.7 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 11% 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 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (22 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.72 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 146.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 84 catches in 198 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling 15 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.80 for the level played (1st grade 164 · 2nd grade 32 · 3rd grade 1 · 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: 84 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 198 matches — 0.43 per match.

4,126 runs in 205 innings, adjusted average 21.9, strike rate 46.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
52 wickets in 78 matches bowled in (of 198 played) — 0.26 per match at 29.8, economy 3.72, strike rate 48.1.
