Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 45.9 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.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 137.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 74 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 47 × 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
- ×0.32 for the level played (3rd grade 20 · Club 5 · 4th grade 26 · 5th grade and below 23). 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: 31 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 1,890 runs in 73 innings, adjusted average 29.1, strike rate 45.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 22 wickets from 137.3 overs across 25 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 0.30 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
