Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.0 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 12% 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 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.61 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 127.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.61.
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 91 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.64 for the level played (National competition 13 · 1st grade 24 · Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 36 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 7). 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: 33 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 1,326 runs in 77 innings, adjusted average 20.6, strike rate 46.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 76 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 0.88 per match at 26.3, economy 3.61, strike rate 43.7.
