Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.2 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info

- ✓ Safe hands — 46 catches in 85 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 70 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (State competition 5 · Rep Div 1 14 · Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 46 catches + 12 run outs (5 direct, 7 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.68 per match.
- Batting
- 1,373 runs in 80 innings, adjusted average 22.7, strike rate 62.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 80 wickets in 82 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 0.98 per match at 15.1, economy 3.42, strike rate 26.6.
