Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.1 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 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 136.
- ✓ Safe hands — 44 catches in 116 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 47 × 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
- ×0.36 for the level played (State competition 11 · Rep Div 1 14 · Club 91). 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: 43 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 116 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 2,132 runs in 108 innings, adjusted average 23.0, strike rate 51.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 22 wickets from 102.2 overs across 23 matches bowled in (of 116 played) — 0.19 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
