Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.6 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 67 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 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
- ×0.62 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 28 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 28). 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: 25 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 21 wickets from 89.3 overs across 31 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.68 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
