Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.5 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 4% of 50+ scores become hundreds (25 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 111.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 289 catches in 209 matches (1.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 38 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 97 × 40% · Batting 50 × 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
×0.69 for the level played (National competition 3 · 1st grade 62 · Rep Div 1 41 · 2nd grade 76 · 3rd grade 14 · Club 13). 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
Keeping: 242 catches + 38 stumpings + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 209 matches — 1.36 dismissals per match.
Batting
4,266 runs in 197 innings, adjusted average 26.2, strike rate 60.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 12 wickets from 56.0 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 209 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
