Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 29.0 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (17 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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
- ×0.38 for the level played (1st grade 12 · 2nd grade 26 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 115). 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: 40 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 155 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 147 innings at 21.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 14.7 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 155 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
