Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 42.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 77 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 36 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (1st grade 6 · Rep Div 1 11 · 2nd grade 23 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 26 · 4th grade 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: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 1,179 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 23.3, strike rate 42.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 1.07 per match at 22.6, economy 3.96, strike rate 34.2.
