Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 44.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 75 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 114.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 16 · 2nd grade 23 · 3rd grade 35 · Club 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: 17 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- 1,576 runs in 74 innings, adjusted average 23.0, strike rate 44.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 0.63 per match at 33.7, economy 4.50, strike rate 44.9.
