Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.3 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.09 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 35 matches (1.09 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 14 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 100 × 40% · Batting 42 × 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 11 · 1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 6 · 2nd grade 14 · 3rd grade 1). 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: 32 catches + 14 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 1.34 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 661 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 26.8, strike rate 46.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
