Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.8 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 14% 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 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (28 fifties, 3 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.60 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 145.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 94 catches in 237 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 17 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.75 for the level played (National competition 5 · 1st grade 165 · 2nd grade 59 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 6). 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: 94 catches + 17 run outs (17 direct, 0 assisted) in 237 matches — 0.47 per match.
Batting
4,800 runs in 231 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 56.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
151 wickets in 136 matches bowled in (of 237 played) — 1.11 per match at 25.3, economy 3.60, strike rate 42.3.
