Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.7 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 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (31 fifties, 4 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 115.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 84 catches in 240 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 61 × 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
×0.63 for the level played (1st grade 25 · Rep Div 1 41 · 2nd grade 83 · 3rd grade 9 · Rep Div 2 4 · Club 58 · 4th grade 5 · 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: 84 catches + 13 run outs (13 direct, 0 assisted) in 240 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
4,911 runs in 235 innings, adjusted average 24.5, strike rate 51.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 77 wickets from 478.7 overs across 98 matches bowled in (of 240 played) — 0.79 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
