Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 44.6 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 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
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 103.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 32 · 3rd grade 45 · 4th grade 13 · 5th grade and below 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: 32 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 2,046 runs in 109 innings, adjusted average 20.2, strike rate 44.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 0.34 per match at 22.8, economy 4.74, strike rate 28.9.
