Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.7 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.49 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 110.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.10.
- ✓ Safe hands — 43 catches in 88 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.74 for the level played (National competition 6 · State competition 8 · 1st grade 16 · Rep Div 1 26 · 2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 17 · 4th grade 4). 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: 43 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 88 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 1,922 runs in 82 innings, adjusted average 28.6, strike rate 62.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 93 wickets in 79 matches bowled in (of 88 played) — 1.18 per match at 18.0, economy 3.10, strike rate 34.8.
