Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.17 dismissals per match across 103 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 146.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 57 × 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 17 · Club 69 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 15). 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: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 103 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- 2,556 runs in 105 innings, adjusted average 26.9, strike rate 49.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 10 wickets from 68.0 overs across 18 matches bowled in (of 103 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
