Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.9.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 7 hundred(s), best of 124.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 92 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 76 × 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
×0.94 for the level played (National competition 32 · State competition 1 · 1st grade 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 55 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 38 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.46 per match.
Batting
3,229 runs in 99 innings, adjusted average 34.9, strike rate 60.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
