Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 46.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (16 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 150 catches in 164 matches (0.91 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 13 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 14 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.72 for the level played (1st grade 105 · Rep Div 1 3 · 2nd grade 47 · 3rd grade 1 · Rep Div 2 2 · Club 6). 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
Keeping: 113 catches + 13 stumpings + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 164 matches — 0.82 dismissals per match.
Batting
3,085 runs in 163 innings, adjusted average 20.9, strike rate 46.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
5 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 164 played) — 0.03 per match at 48.4, economy 3.61, strike rate 80.4.
