Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.7.
✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.89.
✓ Safe hands — 58 catches in 168 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 19 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.48 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 39 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 118 · 5th grade and below 2). 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: 58 catches + 19 run outs (19 direct, 0 assisted) in 168 matches — 0.46 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 145 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
117 wickets in 153 matches bowled in (of 168 played) — 0.76 per match at 15.7, economy 2.89, strike rate 32.6.
