Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.7 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.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.37 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 104 catches in 76 matches (1.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 32 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 99 × 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
- ×0.46 for the level played (State competition 14 · 1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 19 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 36). 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
- Keeping: 93 catches + 32 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 76 matches — 1.64 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 72 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 1.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
