Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
55 of 109 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 117.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
- ✓ Safe hands — 61 catches in 168 matches (0.36 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 60 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.68 for the level played (1st grade 16 · 2nd grade 11 · Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 61 catches + 18 run outs (17 direct, 1 assisted) in 168 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 2,533 runs in 156 innings, adjusted average 21.1, strike rate 49.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 176 wickets in 144 matches bowled in (of 168 played) — 1.22 per match at 18.8, economy 3.29, strike rate 34.2.
