Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 45.7 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 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 79 catches in 165 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 151 · 4th 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
Outfield: 76 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 165 matches — 0.46 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 166 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 42 wickets from 181.8 overs across 52 matches bowled in (of 165 played) — 0.25 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
