Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 31.1 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 85 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (3rd grade 1 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 88 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 53 wickets from 302.2 overs across 51 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 1.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
