Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 44.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 126.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 38 × 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 17 · 2nd grade 49 · 3rd grade 2 · 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: 17 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 1,685 runs in 81 innings, adjusted average 22.3, strike rate 44.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 69.8 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
