Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.2 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 126.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.76 for the level played (1st grade 183 · Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 54 · 3rd grade 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: 70 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 244 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
4,619 runs in 243 innings, adjusted average 22.1, strike rate 60.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
324 wickets in 212 matches bowled in (of 244 played) — 1.53 per match at 22.9, economy 3.55, strike rate 38.8.
