Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
37 of 49 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.2.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 98.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 138.
- ✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 74 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 83 × 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
- ×0.94 for the level played (National competition 20 · State competition 1 · 1st grade 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 38 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 1,895 runs in 61 innings, adjusted average 37.2, strike rate 98.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
