Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.3 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 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (16 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 142 catches in 251 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 35 · Club 192 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 20). 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: 94 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 251 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 242 innings at 21.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
67 wickets in 83 matches bowled in (of 251 played) — 0.27 per match at 14.7, economy 2.95, strike rate 29.8.
