Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 62.0 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 15% 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 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 74 catches in 195 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 16 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.46 for the level played (1st grade 7 · Rep Div 1 13 · 2nd grade 59 · 3rd grade 30 · Club 39 · 4th grade 21 · 5th grade and below 26). 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: 73 catches + 16 run outs (14 direct, 2 assisted) in 195 matches — 0.46 per match.
Batting
2,489 runs in 176 innings, adjusted average 16.6, strike rate 62.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
204 wickets in 170 matches bowled in (of 195 played) — 1.20 per match at 21.2, economy 3.38, strike rate 37.5.
