Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.4 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (1st grade 9 · Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 28 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 34 · 4th grade 2). 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: 25 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 1,743 runs in 77 innings, adjusted average 25.6, strike rate 53.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 121 wickets in 72 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 1.68 per match at 20.4, economy 3.33, strike rate 36.6.
