Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.3 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 15% of 50+ scores become hundreds (29 fifties, 5 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 42.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 129.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 83 × 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
- ×0.78 for the level played (National competition 8 · State competition 4 · 1st grade 22 · 2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 53 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 113 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 4,166 runs in 116 innings, adjusted average 42.7, strike rate 59.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 120.5 overs across 25 matches bowled in (of 113 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
