Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.4 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 14% 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 (14 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 112.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 96). 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: 19 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 96 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
2,292 runs in 100 innings, adjusted average 24.8, strike rate 56.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 10 wickets from 29.2 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 96 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
